Alvechurch railway station serves the village of Alvechurch in Worcestershire, England. It is situated on the Cross-City Line 18 km (11ΒΌ miles) south west of Birmingham New Street. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Midland. The station itself is an unstaffed station with a bus-stop style shelter and only one platform.
[edit] Services
Trains operate every 30 minutes all day, every day, between Redditch and Birmingham New Street, then continuing to Four Oaks and Lichfield.
[edit] History
When the Cross-city line was upgraded and electrified in 1993 the platform at Alvechurch was resited slightly to the north. The result of this is that as soon as the old platform ends the new one begins. The former station building is now in private ownership.
