Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station Erdington railway station is a railway station serving the Erdington area of Birmingham, England. It is situated on the Redditch/Bromsgrove-Birmingham New Street-Four Oaks-Lichfield Cross-City Line.

Pedestrian access is via Station Road. Platform 1 and 2 have separate entrances. Platform 1’s entrance being towards the car park and the second being past the tunnel on the other side. When you are in the station, there is no way to switch between platforms without coming out the station. The station is above road level, as the line here is on an embankment. A new passenger shelter on the northbound platform was built and opened in November 2006.

History

The station was opened in 1862 by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) on Sheep Lane, later known as Station Road.[1]

The letters LMS can still be seen on the adjacent road bridge.[2] At the foot of the ramp to the southbound platform there is a sculpture by Ronald Rae entitled Insect and Celtic Cross.[3]

Facilities

The station has a ticket office and ticket machines on platform 2, and a shelter on platform 1. Both platforms have benches and help points.[4]

Access for disabled passengers

There are ramps accessing both platforms at Erdington Station. Erdington has been classified as a step-free access category B1 station. This means that there is step-free access to all platforms, but that this may include long or steep ramps, as is the case here.[5]
