Rowley Regis Train Station

This train station is close to Blackheath and is served by regular trains heading towards Birmingham Moor Street and Kidderminster. It is a fairly typical small town station, with just two platforms and a small waiting room/​ticket office. These are located on a bridge between the two platforms, meaning you have dash down the sloping walkways to get to your train. There are simple sheltered seats on both platforms if you don’t mind sitting outdoors.
It is a busy commuter station, so the car park is massive. There are no toilets or other such fripperies.

If I had to use one word to describe Rowley Regis train station I’d have pick, simple.
A small waiting room, no toilets and just the two platforms, Rowley Regis whimpers in the shadow of other Birmingham based stations, but as my local train station, I can’t help but feel indebted to Rowley.
The trains are fairly punctual on my visit’s to Rowley and although it’s not necessarily Rowley Regis’ doing, It’s nice not have to wait more than ten minutes for a train.
When I was at school, I sat in the waiting room every morning for a good ten minutes, watching countless people come and go, clog the room up then leave for work. As you can guess, the mornings are very busy, but apart from that the station is usually fairly quiet.
The staff there are great and fairly quick, but if social interaction isn’t your thing you can always use the automatic ticket machine on one of the platforms.

Blackheath represent. Did you see the photo I added of the train station? Do you wish you were there? Well you should.
Rowley Regis is my local train station so it’s a good job it’s so nice to be in. I judge a train station on how quickly my server can get those tickets out the machine, under that little window and into my hand. Rowley staff are insanely fast, they know I’m already late and the trains pulling off and BAM like a magician it’s in my hands! and because of this I sometimes make the train.
Thanks guys.
In terms of other things, no toilet, no shop. But if you need to pee remember where you are and the grass is always an option. Another good thing is that no matter what time you get there, there’s always a metro waiting. No one in Blackheath reads so your always sorted for a bit of metro action.
