Whitlocks End railway station is a railway station on the North Warwickshire Line located next the hamlet of Whitlock's End in the West Midlands of England. It is located a short distance from the village of Hollywood in Worcestershire, and the new village of Dickens Heath. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Trains. The station serves as the terminus for many local services on the Snow Hill Lines from either {{rws|Stourbridge Junction}}, {{rws|Kidderminster}} or {{rws|Worcester Foregate Street}}. Of the three hourly services, two terminate/start here, and one continues to {{rws|Stratford-Upon-Avon}}. HistoryThe station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 6 June 1936 to cater for the increased housing developments in the area, and was originally called Whitlocks End Halt, the suffix was dropped on 6 May 1968. The original 1936 station had short and low platforms, this led to it being completely rebuilt in 1999 at a cost of £800,000.[1] The station formerly had only one train per hour in either direction, this was changed from 1 October 2010, when services which had previously terminated at {{rws|Shirley|England}} were extended to terminate at Whitlocks End, with the opening of a new turnback facility at the station. This was done in order to alleviate traffic congestion at Shirley station, by encouraging commuters to drive to Whitlocks End, which is the next station along the line. This in turn led to the station car park being extended in September 2011 to accommodate increased demand.[2] The 275-space free station car park is managed by Transport for West Midlands. Network Rail have recently completed a £60,000 improvement scheme that included the doubling of bicycle storage capacity from 12 to 24. ServicesDuring Monday to Saturday daytimes:
On Sundays, there is an hourly service to {{rws|Worcester Foregate Street}} via Snow Hill and to Stratford-upon-Avon.
