Witton railway station serves the Witton area of the city of Birmingham, England. It is situated on the Birmingham-Walsall Line, part of the former Grand Junction Railway, opened in 1837. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Midland.

The station sits above Witton Road, as the railway line here is on an embankment. It is the closest station to Villa Park, home of Aston Villa F.C..

[edit] Services

Witton is served by trains between Birmingham New Street and Walsall, operating every 30 minutes Monday-Saturday daytimes and every 60 minutes evenings and Sundays. Trains on weekday evenings (and some early morning trains) operate beyond Walsall via the Chase Line, to/from Hednesford, Rugeley Town or Stafford.
