Butlers Lane railway station serves the northern part of the Four Oaks district of Sutton Coldfield, England. It is situated on the Cross-City Line. The station, and all trains calling there are operated by London Midland.

History

The station was built in 1957 under British Railways, to coincide with the introduction of new diesel multiple units on the line from Birmingham to Lichfield. It became one of the stations served by the new Cross-City Line from 1978. It underwent major refurbishment in 1992, shortly after the line was electrified by British Rail.

For its first few years the station was an unstaffed halt and a request stop. However, in the late 1960s it became a staffed station, and a regular stop.
