Marston Green railway station is a station serving Chelmsley Wood and Marston Green in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull and the Birmingham suburbs of Lea Hall and Sheldon in the West Midlands County, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Trains.
History
The station opened on 9 April 1838[1] as part of the LNWR's line between Template:Rws and Template:Rws. Unlike many of the other small rail stations constructed in the mid 19th century around Birmingham, Marston Green station has remained open to passengers since it was opened. However, none of the railway station's original features remain, having been replaced during the 1970s.
Facilities
The station has a ticket office located on platform 1 which is open Monday-Thursday 06:15-19:00, Friday 06:15-20:00, Saturday 08:00-20:00 and Sunday 09:00-14:00. When the ticket office is open tickets must be purchased before boarding the train. Outside of these times there is a ticket machine on platform 2 which accepts card payments only - cash and voucher payments can be made to the senior conductor on the train.
The railway station is adjacent to bus stops, where buses towards Solihull and Chelmsley Wood stop.
Services
The station is currently served by West Midlands Trains with West Midlands Railway branded local services between Template:Rws and Template:Rws.[2][3]

Prior to the December 2022 timetable change, London Northwestern Railway services to Template:Rws, Template:Rws and Template:Rws called at Marston Green but the calls at Marston Green were mostly withdrawn due to low patronage and to improve performance.[5] A limited London Northwestern Railway service operates at the start and end of service and on Sundays when the local West Midlands Railway service is reduced.
