'''Spring Road Platform''' opened as a basic halt on 1 July 1908 with the intention of relieving congestion from nearby [[Tyseley]]. The station consisted of two basic platforms with waiting shelters, accessed via ramps from street level. It functioned as a [[request stop]] for many years, with sporadic traffic levels for the first few decades of its life.

Traffic increased steadily, assisted by the opening of a factory near to the line, with the station also being extended in length to accommodate longer trains. By 7 July 1924 the station had lost its 'Platform' suffix, becoming '''Spring Road''', with the station also losing its request stop status as usage continues to grow.

Today, the station is served by two trains per hour for most of the week, with services generally operating eastbound to [[Whitlocks End]] and [[Stratford-upon-Avon]], and via [[Birmingham Snow Hill]] and [[Stourbridge Junction]] to [[Kidderminster]], [[Worcester Foregate Street]] or [[Worcester Shrub Hill]]. Services are exclusively in the hands of [[class 172]] [[Turbostar]] [[diesel multiple unit]]s.
