Following an incident on 7 October 1954, lamp-man Anthony Rivers was awarded the George Medal and the Order of Industrial Heroism.

Rivers had gone to assist a woman whose foot was caught in a level crossing between the station's platforms.

[4][5] Eastbound: Westbound: Chiltern Railways also serve the station with one train to Stourbridge Junction at weekday nighttime only, from London Marylebone.

The former Midland Red bus depot stands across the road from the interchange and is now Hawks Cycles.
