Five Ways railway station is a railway station serving Five Ways in Birmingham. It is situated on the Redditch-Birmingham New Street-Lichfield "Cross-City" line.
The current station opened in 1978, as part of the programme which saw the creation of the Cross-City Line services. It replaced an earlier station which had closed in 1944. The cost (approximately £300,000) of building the station was met by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive.
The new station was built with its main entrance on Lee Bank Middleway, as the original station building was (and remains) in commercial use.
The station is served by Central Trains local "Cross-City" services, operated by Class 323 electrical multiple units. Trains operate every 10 minutes during Monday-Saturday daytimes, every 10-20 minutes Monday-Saturday evenings, and every 30 minutes on Sundays.
