North Walsall railway station was a station built by the Wolverhampton and Walsall Railway in 1872, and was operated by the Midland Railway from 1876 onwards. It served the north of Walsall, and was located west of Bloxwich Road.
The station closed in 1925, although the railway serving it remained open for a further 57 years, serving Birchills Power Station until its closure in October 1982, when the line closed.
In 2011, a plan was submitted to Walsall Council to fill in the cutting between Walsall and North Walsall before the bridge that once crossed over the M6. In 2016, the plan was agreed and the work began to fill in the cutting while it would possibly be reopened as a footpath.
