Lichfield Trent Valley is a split-level railway station on the outskirts of the city of Lichfield in Staffordshire, England. It is one of two stations in Lichfield, the other being Lichfield City. The station is not particularly near the city, nor indeed the River Trent, but is an example of a station built primarily to serve a railway junction.
Its low-level platforms are located on the Trent Valley Line section of the West Coast Main Line. Passenger services are run mostly by Virgin Trains, although only a handful of peak time and weekend services call at the station; there is also a limited service on weekdays run by London Midland, with the southern terminus being either London Euston or Northampton and the northern being either Crewe or Liverpool Lime Street. London Midland also provide a rail replacement coach service between Stafford and Nuneaton, in lieu of the single car local service that used to operate on the route, but was withdrawn during the West Coast Modification Project and never reinstated (the rolling stock had been assigned to other duties).
The signal box was demolished over the weekend of June 15th 2008 as part of the West Coast upgrade.
A single platform at right-angles to the low-level station, accessible by a staircase from the latter, forms the high-level part of the station. This forms the northern terminus of the Cross-City Line, and is served by two trains an hour, every day of the week.
Facilities are basic - the original station building burned down in the 1990s, and the ticket office is now a temporary wooden building.
's maintenance depot at Central Rivers, near Burton. The route is sometimes used as a means of diverting trains when engineering takes place between Birmingham New Street and Tamworth.
