The passenger entrance is on Lichfield Road and accessible via the staircase or lifts to take you to the platform which is raised.

The line was originally intended to enter Birmingham through a mile-long tunnel under the high ground on which the park is situated.

4. c. lv), the Grand Junction was forbidden from: "enter(ing) upon or into, take, injure or damage, for the purposes of this Act...any Part of a certain Park lying within the parish of Aston-juxta-Birmingham in the County of Warwick, and Handsworth in the County of Stafford, known by the name of Aston Park..."[3]In 1846, the Grand Junction was one of several railways which were merged and incorporated into the London and North Western Railway (LNWR).

[11] The new line was also used for the Wolverhampton portions of some London expresses and also to provide through carriages between Euston and Walsall.

[13] The first station at Aston was replaced by a new building during the construction of the Stechford line, with a booking office level with Lichfield Road.

[14] Also in 1880, the LNWR opened a line for freight traffic from Aston to Windsor Street goods depot.

In 2011, London Midland, proposed a major reduction in the opening hours of the ticket office, with complete closure at weekends.

[28][29] The section of the viaduct crossing Lichfield Road, immediately south of the station, was replaced by a steel bridge in 1906.

[35] The typical service pattern is as follows: Mondays to Saturdays: Sundays: The average journey time to Birmingham New Street is around 7 minutes.

[36] In January 1858 there were eight trains from Aston (originating in Birmingham) to Wolverhampton via Bescot Junction and Willenhall, the first at 08:21 and the last at 21:11 on weekdays.

[39] Trains on the circular route are shown in the Summer 1939 London, Midland and Scottish Railway timetable as taking 43 minutes for the complete New Street-New Street circuit.

[40] The London Midland Region timetable dated 10 September 1951 shows an irregular interval service of approximately hourly trains to and from Walsall and a similar service to Lichfield City via Sutton, with some trains running only as far as Four Oaks (tables 68 and 69).

In the Summer 1963 timetable, by which time diesel multiple units were operating on both routes,[41][page needed] there was a regular-interval service pattern throughout the day: on weekdays every hour to Walsall and Rugeley Town, and every 30 minutes to Sutton and Lichfield, with occasional trains still terminating at Four Oaks.

Following the introduction of the Cross-City Line in 1978, Aston gained through trains to and from Longbridge via Birmingham New Street.
