Portobello railway station was a station built on the Grand Junction Railway in 1837[1]. It served the Portobello area of Willenhall, and was located near to the level crossing on Noose Lane

The station closed in 1873 due to being unprofitable[2]. The lines through the station are in use today as part of the Walsall to Wolverhampton Line.

There have been recent proposals to examine reopening of the station[3], along with Willenhall Bilston Street.
