Summary

Description

I headed to Tipton Station to explore a bit of the canals in the area. I also passed through a park that was between both canals.

You can leave the station and go straight onto the canal!

It was a cold day in Sandwell!


Tipton railway station is located in the town of Tipton in the borough of Sandwell, West Midlands, England and was known as Tipton Owen Street until 1968. It is situated on the West Coast Main Line. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Midland.

At the southern end of the station, there was a level crossing, though this was closed in January 2010 on the opening of a relief road which undercuts the railway.

The station was closed in early 2010 for refurbishment which allowed the platforms to be extended to accommodate longer trains than previously. The redevelopment also included new waiting areas, easier access to the station, increased car park size, new subway, improved security and a new bus interchange.


Both sides of the station have an entranceway sculpture arch near the top of a ramp or steps to the station subway.

This archway is near Owen Street and close to the ticket office building.
