The platforms here are staggered, with the Birmingham platform being further north than the Wolverhampton platform, this was made necessary by the narrowness of the cutting.

The tram stop is a short distance to the north from the original Bilston Central railway station which was situated on the Birmingham Snow Hill-Wolverhampton Low Level Line and closed in 1972.
