The station forms a part of the Chase Line and is operated by West Midlands Railway.

It closed to passengers on 18 January 1965 and to goods traffic on 6 September the same year as a result of the Beeching Axe, though the line that passed through remained in use for goods & mineral traffic, serving the power station at Rugeley and various local collieries.

[4] Hednesford's ticket machine is card-only,[citation needed] so passengers who only have cash must instead present themselves to the onboard conductor at the earliest opportunity.

[6] Additionally, there is also a 180-space free car park on Anglesey Street operated by Cannock Chase District Council.

Hednesford no longer has a bus station, although there is an interchange on Victoria Street acting as a hub to locations such as Cannock, Rugeley, Lichfield and Pye Green.
