Although the station was situated on the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway which opened on 1 August 1864, the construction of Wyre Forest Station required the consent of the Office of Woods and Forests. As a result the station did not open until 1 June 1869.[1] The station closed to passenger traffic along with the rest of the Wyre Forest Line on 1 August 1962.[2]
