Marston Green railway station is a station serving Chelmsley Wood and Marston Green in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull and the Birmingham suburbs of Lea Hall and Sheldon in the West Midlands County, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Trains.

The station opened on 9 April 1838^[1] as part of the LNWR's line between Birmingham New Street and Coventry. Unlike many of the other small rail stations constructed in the mid 19th century around Birmingham, Marston Green station has remained open to passengers since it was opened. However, none of the railway station's original features remain, having been replaced during the 1970s.

The station has a ticket office located on platform 1 which is open Monday-Thursday 06:15-19:00, Friday 06:15-20:00, Saturday 08:00-20:00 and Sunday 09:00-14:00. When the ticket office is open tickets must be purchased before boarding the train. Outside of these times there is a ticket machine on platform 2 which accepts card payments only - cash and voucher payments can be made to the senior conductor on the train.

The railway station is adjacent to bus stops, where buses towards Solihull and Chelmsley Wood stop.

Marston Green is served by two local stopping trains per hour, to Birmingham New Street northbound which both continue to Rugeley Trent Valley and two trains per hour to Birmingham International southbound. Some early morning and late evening services continue to Coventry or London Euston via Northampton.

On Sundays, two trains per hour run to Birmingham New Street, of which one is a local stopping service and continues northbound to Rugeley Trent Valley and the other is a fast service calling only at Birmingham New Street. Two trains per hour run to Birmingham International of which one is fast and continues to London Euston via Northampton.^[2][3]

All services are operated by West Midlands Trains. Most services operate under the West Midlands Railway brand and operate within the West Midlands region only. Services which start/terminate at Rugby, Northampton and London Euston (mainly early morning, late evening and Sunday services) operate under the London Northwestern Railway brand.^[4]

Prior to the December 2022 timetable change, London Northwestern Railway services to Coventry, Northampton and London Euston called at Marston Green but the calls at Marston Green were mostly withdrawn due to low patronage and to improve performance.^[5] A limited London Northwestern Railway service operates at the start and end of service and on Sundays when the local West Midlands Railway service is reduced.
