Landywood Station

On the train stopping at Landywood Station.

On the way back from Cannock to Birmingham New Street.

Landywood railway station is situated in the village of Landywood in Staffordshire, England. As well as Landywood, the station also serves the adjacent villages of Cheslyn Hay and Great Wyrley (The former Wyrley and Cheslyn Hay railway station closed in the 1960s). The LNWR also operated an earlier halt at Landywood which closed on 1 January 1916.

The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Railway.

The first station on the site was opened in 1908 by the London and North Western Railway but closed after a short life in 1916. The present station opened in 1989, as part of the first stage of the reopening by British Rail of the Chase Line from Walsall to Hednesford to passenger trains. The area was previously served by a station further north at Great Wyrley, but this was closed during the Beeching Axe of the 1960s.

In 2010, the stations between Walsall and Stafford (including Landywood) were subject to a £1.6 million upgrade project. This included the installation of new lighting, CCTV, live train information boards, and new waiting shelters.

Typically, Monday to Saturday daytimes, Landywood is served by one train per hour in each direction between Birmingham New Street and Rugeley Trent Valley where connections to Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent and Crewe are available, although a small number of trains (1 per day on weekdays and Sundays) terminate at Hednesford. Services are usually operated by Class 170 diesel trains. During the morning and evening peak, trains to Walsall and Birmingham run at an increased 30 minute frequency. Journey times are typically 14 minutes to Walsall and 38 minutes to Birmingham New Street.
