History
Opened1899

Widney Manor railway station serves the Widney Manor area of Solihull in the West Midlands of England. The station is served by West Midlands Trains (who manage the station) and Chiltern Railways. A significant portion of the car park occupies what used to be the formation when the line was four tracks wide and the former GWR London Paddington - Birkenhead Woodside service passed through the station but did not stop. This service ceased with the electrification of the former LMS line from London Euston to Birmingham New Street in 1967.

Services

The station is served by three trains per hour in each direction between Birmingham Snow Hill and Dorridge (hourly on Sundays). The Birmingham trains continue to either Stourbridge Junction, Kidderminster or Worcester Shrub Hill/Foregate Street. One Dorridge service per hour continues to Stratford-upon-Avon and in peak hours some services extend to Leamington Spa.[1] Chiltern only provide a limited service at the station in the late evening.
