West Midlands Trains manages the station and runs most of the trains that serve it. Chiltern Railways trains serve the station in the late evening only.

The main station building is on a bridge over the tracks, on the Wharfedale Road (B4146). It is next to a railway depot and Tyseley Locomotive Works.

History

The Great Western Railway opened the station in 1906. It is on what was the GWR main line between London Paddington and Birkenhead Woodside. It was built with four platforms, but later British Railways took platforms 1 and 2 out of use.

Since the mid-1990s traffic on the line has increased. In 2007–08 Network Rail resignalled the line between Birmingham and Warwick, modified the track at Tyseley and restored platforms 1 and 2 to use.

Trains to and from Solihull are now able to use the new 60 mph (97 km/h) Tyseley North Junction. Two new junctions have been built at each end of the station, which allow non-stopping services between Solihull and Birmingham Snow Hill to cross at 60 mph.

Services

Mondays to Saturdays, daytime service is generally two trains per hour outside peak hours.[1]

Northbound, there are two trains per hour to Birmingham Snow Hill, continuing to Stourbridge Junction, Kidderminster or Worcester.

Southbound, there is one train per hour to Dorridge via Solihull and one train per hour to Whitlocks End via Shirley.

On Sundays, there is an hourly service each way - southbound to Stratford-upon-Avon via Shirley and northbound to Worcester Foregate Street.
