Hazelwell railway station
Encyclopedia
Hazelwell was a railway station on the Camp Hill Line in Birmingham
, England. It was built in 1903, between the existing Kings Heath
and Lifford
stations.
The station closed in 1941, when passenger services were withdrawn from the line due to "wartime economy measures", and was not reopened. The line remained open for freight and is also used for some longer distance passenger services.
There is a proposal for reintroduction of local train services on the Camp Hill Line, and new stations including one at Hazelwell. According to the April 2009 draft of the West Midlands Region Rail Development Plan, if the proposals go ahead then construction of the new stations may start between 2014 and 2019.
