Earlswood (West Midlands) Railway Station
Earlswood railway station is located on the western fringe of the village of Earlswood on the West Midlands/Warwickshire border in England. The platforms straddle the county border, with the approach road on the West Midlands side. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Trains.
Originally opened as Earlswood Lakes in mid-1908, the station was renamed Earlswood on 6 May 1974 despite being located next to the settlement of Foreshaw Heath and The Lakes railway station being located closer to Earlswood village.
Services
The station is served by hourly trains in each direction, westbound to Kidderminster via Birmingham Snow Hill and southbound to Stratford-upon-Avon. Evening services continue to Worcester Shrub Hill or terminate at Snow Hill or Birmingham Moor Street. On Sundays, services towards Kidderminster continue to Worcester Foregate Street.
