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

History

[edit]

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]
