History

The Chase Line from Walsall to Hednesford was reopened to passenger trains in 1989. Bloxwich North station opened the following year to serve an area of new housing on the northern edge of the town. Initially, the station was just opened experimentally, although it has remained in place since then. Before opening, the station was known as Broad Lane, and it was possible to buy tickets to or from there to supplement a West Midlands pass.
