The station was transferred from the Western Region of British Rail to the London Midland Region on 24 March 1974.[1]

Services

Improvement works

In 2010 the down line through the station was realigned for higher speeds, as part of the Evergreen 3 project. In 2011, the up (southbound) platform was widened, using the trackbed of the former through lines.[2]
