Sandwell and Dudley is a railway station on the West Coast Main Line, situated between Oldbury and West Bromwich, West Midlands, England.
It was originally named Oldbury. However, in the 1980s it was rebuilt as a railway station designed to serve the metropolitan boroughs of Sandwell and Dudley with a new name to suit. It was equipped with longer platforms capable of handling long-distance trains.
The station today is operated by Central Trains, which runs the local services between Birmingham New Street and Wolverhampton on behalf of Centro. Longer-distance services are Virgin Trains' London Euston-Wolverhampton services, and Central Trains' Birmingham New Street-Liverpool Lime Street services.
Both platforms have lifts, making the station fully accessible to people in wheelchairs.
