There is no PA system or information screen on platform 1. Since the introduction of new
train departure screens which are platform specific, the station has lost the screen which
summarised departures with their respective platforms.
There is a car park on the eastern (or village) side of the station by platform 4.
Barnt Green Parish Council has a free commuter car park on the other side of the station
on Fiery Hill Road by the junction of Kendal End Road. It is about 200 yards from the
station access to Platform 1.
