Bordesley railway station is a small railway station serving the area of Bordesley in Birmingham, England. It is served by London Midland services between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon and is located between Birmingham Moor Street and Small Heath stations.
The platforms are above street level, as the railway line here is on a viaduct.
Since May 2007, the station has only has one regular service, a parliamentary train which operates on Saturdays and calls at Bordesley in one direction only. The station primarily serves as a match day stop for nearby Birmingham City Football Club, and other services stop there only when there are home fixtures. The station is locked on days when there is no train service.
Between January and February 2011 the station was closed temporarily for platform repair work. [1] [2]
The station still carries the painted lettering "BR(W) Bordesley Cattle Station", and "Bordesley Cattle Station GWR" from the time when, as part of the Great Western Railway and later British Railways' (Western) region, it was used to bring cattle from the countryside to the Bull Ring markets.[3]
