Chester Road railway station serves the areas of Pype Hayes, Erdington and Wylde Green in north-east Birmingham, in the West Midlands county of England.

Pedestrian access to the station is via Green Lanes, near to the junction with the Chester Road (A452).

The line from Aston to Sutton Coldfield was built by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in 1862, although Chester Road station was not opened until 1 December 1863.

This means that there is step-free access to all platforms, but that this may include long or steep ramps, as is the case here.

[5] The station is served by West Midlands Trains with local Transport for West Midlands branded "Cross-City" services, operated using Class 323 Electric multiple units (EMUs)[6] until September 2024 and currently by Class 730 EMUs.
