HistoryWolverhampton Temporary railway station opened on 12 November 1849. The S&B was authorised on 3 August 1846 to build a 29 ½-mile line between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury (10 miles at the western end being as part of a joint line with the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company. The original aspiration had been to create a route to Birmingham but opposition from other railway companies had prevented that from being achieved. Instead Parliament had authorised, also on 3 August 1846, the Birmingham, Wolverhampton & Stour Valley Railway (BW&SV) to build a line between Wolverhampton and Birmingham and given the S&B running rights over it. Because of this when the S&B opened to Wolverhampton it had to make do with a temporary terminus. ClosureOn 24 June 1852 a permanent station was ready at Wolverhampton Queen Street and the temporary station was closed. The new station was a short distance south-east of the temporary station. It was a shared facility with the London North Western Railway and would later become Wolverhampton High Level railway station. Site todayThe station building was demolished in the 1970s and the site of the former station building was cleared to become part of a redeveloped canal walkway for pedestrians and cyclists. The lines through the former station are now in use for services to and from Wolverhampton High Level. The Temporary station was the first station to close in Wolverhampton and the nearby Wolverhampton Low Level which was a short distance north east of the station site was closed in the 1980s and has since become a commercial and residential area while the lines through it were removed in 2006 after partial demolition of the station site.
