The station was designed by the architect William Henry Hamlyn and opened in 1939.[1]
In 1998 the station was re-designed with new sculptures and colour scheme by Tim Tolkien, great nephew of writer J. R. R. Tolkien.
The station has a ticket office located on the bridge over the tracks which is open Monday-Thursday 07:15-19:00, Friday 07:00-20:00, Saturday 08:00-20:00 and Sunday 11:00-14:00.[2] When the ticket office is open tickets must be purchased before boarding the train. Outside of these times there is a ticket machine above platform 1 which accepts card payments only - cash and voucher payments can be made to the senior conductor on the train.
There is a free car park for rail users on Lea Hall Road.
Step free access is available between the platforms via the ramp.[3]
Lea Hall is served by two trains per hour, westbound to Rugeley Trent Valley via Birmingham New Street and to Birmingham International eastbound. A limited service operates beyond Birmingham International towards Coventry and Northampton mainly at peak times and the start/end of service.
On Sundays, there is an hourly service westbound to Birmingham New Street and eastbound to Birmingham International with the first 4 and last 4 services extending to Coventry, Northampton via Rugby or London Euston.[4][5][6]
All services are operated by West Midlands Trains. Most services operate under the West Midlands Railway brand but some services (those which start/terminate at Northampton or Euston) operate under the London Northwestern Railway brand.
