History
The station was opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) on 1 July 1908, along with the line, and was originally known as Yardley Wood Platform.... Platform being a GWR term for a station which was intermediate between a halt and a station in importance and facilities; the suffix was later dropped. Unlike the previous and following stations on the line (Shirley and Hall Green) Yardley Wood was never provided with goods facilities. Most of the original station buildings are still intact.
