Portobello railway station was a station built on the Grand Junction Railway in 1837.[1] It served the Portobello area of Willenhall, and was located near to the level crossing on Noose Lane
The station closed in 1873 due to being unprofitable.[2] The lines through the station are in use today as part of the Walsall to Wolverhampton Line.
There have been recent proposals to examine reopening of the station,.[3]
