Blakedown railway station serves the English village of Blakedown, Worcestershire. It was opened as Churchill in 1852, later becoming known for a time as Churchill & Blakedown after the two villages became a single parish.

The station is unstaffed, with only a basic shelter on each platform. There is a level crossing immediately to the west of the platforms, and in the absence of a footbridge or subway this is also the only method for passengers to cross the tracks.

The platforms were lengthened in the 1990s to allow longer trains to call. This is because Blakedown is within the Birmingham commuter band and over the twenty years between 1998 - 2018 usage of the station has increased by 147%. Currently there is a proposal to develop a car park on an adjacent field site to cater for further anticipated growth.[1]

Since August 2012 the signalling system has been altered, with the former signal box having been closed and control of the nearby crossing and signals transferred to the Saltley Rail Operating Centre. The old signal box was then acquired by the Churchill and Blakedown Historical Society for its headquarters and was shifted across the road to a site adjoining the station in 2016.[2]

Services

Since 2017, West Midlands Railway has run an off-peak service every 30 minutes each way, with off-peak trains terminating at Kidderminster westbound, and eastbound services running alternately to Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws. Through services are available to Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, and Dorridge at peak periods, with a nighttime service running to Шаблон:Rws Mondays to Saturdays. There is a two-hourly service from the station each way on Sundays, with through trains to and from Worcester.[3][4][5]

From September 2002 until May 2023, Chiltern Railways peak-hour services from Kidderminster to London Marylebone called at Hagley. Therefore, Blakedown commuters could change there for a service to London.[6][7][8][9]
