Netherton railway station served the town of Netherton, Dudley, England, from 1852 to 1878 on the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway.

History

The station was opened on 20 December 1852 by the Great Western Railway. It was situated southwest of New Road. It obstructed the Bumble Hole line so it closed on 1 March 1878 and it was replaced by a new station that was later known as Blowers Green.[1] Nothing remains.[2]
