Longbridge railway station was a railway station in Longbridge, Birmingham, England, on the Great Western Railway and Midland Railway's joint Halesowen Railway line from Old Hill to Longbridge. Despite closure, the railway station and part of the track remained in situ until the demolition of most of the Longbridge factory in 2006. The station should not be confused with the current station that was built in 1978, and is located on the Cross City Line.[2]
