West Bromwich railway station

West Bromwich railway station

West Bromwich railway station was a major intermediate station on the Great Western Railway's Birmingham Snow Hill-Wolverhampton Low Level Line. It opened in 1854 and served the town of West Bromwich in the English West Midlands. It was closed along with the line in 1972.

West Bromwich town centre's rail link with Birmingham was restored in 1999 with the opening of the Midland Metro station known as West Bromwich Central. It wasn't until building work for this project began in the late 1990s that the remaining heavy rail architecture was removed.
