Although situated just outside the West Midlands county, the station lies within the area supported by Transport for West Midlands given its proximity to Tidbury Green, and therefore TfWM-issued tickets for train travel are valid for travel to the station, but TfWM-issued bus tickets are not. London Midland closed the ticket office in 2011.[1]
The station opened as Grimes Hill Platform on 1 July 1908. It then became Grimes Hill & Wythall Halt on 12 July 1914; Grimes Hill and Wythall Platform on 11 July 1927; the suffix was dropped on 9 July 1934 and it finally became Wythall on 6 May 1974.[2]
Services
editThe station is served by hourly trains in each direction between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon, with most Birmingham services continuing through to Stourbridge Junction.[3] There is also an hourly Sunday service in each direction, to Worcester Foregate Street and Stratford.
