Services
Monday to Saturday daytime there are four trains per hour from Birmingham New Street to Walsall. Two per hour call at all stations, the other two per hour call at Tame Bridge Parkway and Walsall, continuing to Rugeley Trent Valley with one train calling at all stations and the other skipping certain stations between Walsall and Rugeley. Monday to Saturday evenings and all day Sunday there are two trains per hour (one stopping and one semi-fast) between Walsall and Birmingham and an hourly service to Rugeley Trent Valley. The line is operated by Class 170 Diesel Multiple Units.
From December 2010 the Rugeley service was cut from half-hourly to hourly on weekdays due to lack of funding, but a Walsall to Birmingham New Street fast stopping only at Tame Bridge Parkway was retained, which used to start from Rugeley Trent Valley.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
