History

Opened by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, it became part of the Great Western Railway, staying there during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways.

Planned refurbishments

The station is expected to undergo a refurbishment, at a cost of £1.5 million, commencing in spring 2012.[1]
