Wednesbury Central railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wednesbury Central railway station was a major intermediate station on the Great Western Railway's Birmingham Snow Hill-Wolverhampton Low Level Line. It was opened as Wednesbury in 1854 and was one of two stations serving Wednesbury in the West Midlands. It was renamed to Wednesbury Central in 1950 following nationalisation. It closed with the closure of the line in 1972. It has been given a lease of life by the opening of the Midland Metro Wednesbury Great Western Street tram stop.
