Perry Barr railway station

Although rebuilt around the time of electrification in the 1960s, it stands on the site of the original Grand Junction Railway station of 1838, and so is the oldest station on its original site in the city, and one of the oldest station sites in the country. The pedestrian entrance is on the A34 Walsall Road.

It has two platforms, one each side of the two running lines, with no points or sidings. The ticket office is on a bridge over the tracks, which are below street level.

As well as local residents, shops and businesses, it serves:

Alexander Stadium
Perry Hall Park
the University of Central England
a number of bus services, including the Outer Circle

[edit] Services

Perry Barr is served Monday-Saturday daytimes by trains running on the Walsall Line, from Walsall to Birmingham New Street which call all stations. There are two trains per hour in each direction. In the evenings, there is an hourly service in each direction which continues past Walsall on the Chase Line to Hednesford calling all stations on both the Walsall and Chase Lines.
