Small Heath railway station
Small Heath railway station serves the areas of Small Heath and Sparkbrook in Birmingham, West Midlands, England. The station is managed by West Midlands Trains, which runs all the services.
The former Great Western Railway station building, opened in 1863 as Small Heath and Sparkbrook on their main line from to Birkenhead Woodside, is on a bridge which it shares with Golden Hillock Road, over the tracks. The A45 Small Heath Highway runs alongside. To the other side is the site of the former BSA factory.
The station once had four platforms in use, following the quadrupling of the line by the Great Western Railway in 1906, but only the western pair are now operational.Services
