Walsall Railway Station

Walsall railway station is the principal railway station of Walsall, West Midlands, England and situated in the heart of the town. It is operated by London Midland, who run all of its train services. The main entrance is situated inside the Saddlers Shopping Centre. OverviewServices from the station go to Birmingham New Street 10 + 3 /4mi south on the Walsall Line, (operated on behalf of Network West Midlands), and north to Cannock and Rugeley. The station has three platforms: Platform 1: operating northbound services to Rugeley;Platform 2: operating southbound, semi-fast services from Rugeley to Birmingham New Street;Platform 3: (a terminus platform) operating local services to Birmingham New Street. Platforms 2 and 3 have been recently refurbished, with a new waiting room added and enigmatic "poetry" on the walls of the stairs to the platforms. The mainline platforms are not electrified, but platform 3 (and the through line next to it) are electrified to 25kV AC Overhead power. This electrification ends for both tracks at the northern end of the platforms. An S& B self-service ticket machine was placed on Platform 1 but was no longer in place in April 2011; however, a similar machine remains in the station booking hall which is at street level above platform 3. The station has a staffed ticket office.
