Solihull railway station serves the market town of Solihull in the West Midlands of England. The station is served by West Midlands Trains and Chiltern Railways. CrossCountry serve the station occasionally to replace stops at Coventry and Birmingham International during engineering work. Solihull used to have a regular Virgin CrossCountry service to Manchester Piccadilly, Blackpool North and Portsmouth Harbour until 2004, when all services through the station were made to run non-stop between Birmingham and Leamington Spa.
The station booking office is located in a ground level building at the front of the station, from here there is a subway where footsteps and a lift lead up to the island platform. Services are operated by Chiltern Railways to London Marylebone via High Wycombe, West Midlands Trains to Dorridge, with some services extending to Leamington Spa in the evening peak. The vast majority of Chiltern Railways services terminate at Birmingham Snow Hill or Birmingham Moor Street, with extensions to Kidderminster at peak times. West Midlands Trains operate services to Stourbridge Junction on a 30-minute frequency.
