Sandwell and Dudley railway station
Sandwell and Dudley railway station is on the Birmingham Loop of the West Coast Main Line, on the outskirts of Oldbury town centre on Bromford Lane, England. The name of the station is somewhat misleading; the station is actually located between West Bromwich and Oldbury, and not near Dudley. The nearest station to the town of Dudley is actually Dudley Port.
It was originally opened as 'Oldbury' in 1852 and was one of two stations in the town. The more centrally located Great Western Railway Oldbury was located on the site of the bingo hall opposite the Sainsburys supermarket and was the only station on the GWR's Oldbury Branch Line from Langley Green.
However, in 1984 it was rebuilt and equipped with longer platforms capable of handling long-distance intercity trains.Services
The station today is operated by West Midlands Railway on behalf of Transport for West Midlands. Services are provided by Avanti West Coast and West Midlands Railway.
