Lea Hall railway station is situated in the Lea Hall area east of the city of Birmingham, in the West Midlands of England. It has two platforms, one each side of the two running lines, with no points or sidings. The ticket office is on a bridge over the tracks, which are a little below street level. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Trains. Ramps have been added to permit easy disabled access to both platforms.
History
The station was designed by the architect William Henry Hamlyn and opened in 1939.[1]
In 1998 the station was re-designed with new sculptures and colour scheme by Tim Tolkien, great nephew of writer J. R. R. Tolkien.
Facilities
The station has a ticket office located on the bridge over the tracks which is open Monday-Thursday 07:15-19:00, Friday 07:00-20:00, Saturday 08:00-20:00 and Sunday 11:00-14:00.[2] When the ticket office is open tickets must be purchased before boarding the train. Outside of these times there is a ticket machine above platform 1 which accepts card payments only - cash and voucher payments can be made to the senior conductor on the train.
There is a free car park for rail users on Lea Hall Road.
Step free access is available between the platforms via the ramp.[3]

Lea Hall is served by two trains per hour, westbound to Template:Rws via Template:Rws and to Template:Rws eastbound. A limited service operates beyond Template:Rws towards Template:Rws and Template:Rws mainly at peak times and the start/end of service.
