Five Ways railway station is a Railway Station serving Five Ways and Lee Bank in Birmingham . It is situated on the Redditch - Birmingham New Street - Lichfield "Cross-City" Line .


HISTORY

The current station opened in 1978 , as part of the programme which saw the creation of the Cross-City Line services. It replaced an earlier station which had closed in 1944 . The cost (approximately £ 300,000) of building the station was met by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive .

The new station was built with its main entrance on Lee Bank Middleway, as the original station building was (and remains) in commercial use.
