You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Cradley Heath railway station''' serves the town of [[Cradley Heath]] in the [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]] of [[England]]. It is on the [[Birmingham to Worcester via Kidderminster line]]. The station is managed by [[West Midlands Railway]], who provide the majority of train services; there are also occasional services provided by [[Chiltern Railways]].

Cradley Heath bus station is right in front of the railway station; together they form '''Cradley Heath Interchange'''.

==History==
The station was opened in 1863 by the [[Stourbridge Railway]], on their line from ((rws|Stourbridge Junction)) to ((rws|Old Hill)). This was later taken over by the [[Great Western Railway]], who incorporated it into their line to [[Birmingham]]. Historically, the station was known as '''Cradley''', and later as '''Cradley Heath and Cradley'''.

The present station buildings date from the mid-1980s when the station was rebuilt entirely on the west side of the level crossing. Previously there had been a staggered platform arrangement on either side of the crossing.

=== Incidents ===

Following an incident on 7 October 1954, lamp-man [[Anthony Rivers]] was awarded the [[George Medal]] and the [[Order of Industrial Heroism]]. Rivers had gone to assist a woman whose foot was caught in a level crossing between the station's platforms. As a train bore down on them, he realised he could not free her, so held her away from the tracks and the train severed her foot. In doing so, he suffered a [[fractured pelvis]] and a broken forearm.<ref name="BPost-Rivers">((cite news |title=Rescue Dive at Station |work=[[Birmingham Post]] |date=8 October 1954 |url=http://www.stourbridgelineusergroup.info/Platform%203%20-%20Issue%204%20(A4%20Large%20Print).pdf |quote=The porter, Tony Rivers, of 132, Park Road, Netherton, Dudley, was taken unconscious to Dudley Guest Hospital with head and leg injuries. ))((Dead link|date=December 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref><ref name="DNW-Rivers">((cite web |title=Lot 217, 20 October 1993 |url=https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/lot-archive/lot.php?department=Medals&lot_id=5791 |access-date=20 May 2019 |publisher=Dix Noonan Webb ))</ref><ref>((London Gazette |issue=40480 |date=13 May 1955 |page=2874 |supp=y |nolink=yes))</ref>

==Bus interchange==
Alongside the railway station there is a bus station with five bus stands, which opened during the 1980s.
