Darlaston James Bridge railway station was a station built on the Grand Junction Railway in 1837, serving the James Bridge area east of the town centre of Darlaston, near the junction of Walsall Road and Bentley Mill Way.
Prior to September 1863 the station was, at various times, suffixed James' Bridge, James's Bridge and Green.
On 14 September 1863 a station was opened on the Darlaston Loop off the South Staffordshire line which was named Darlaston. The original station then became known as James Bridge.
On 1 November 1887 the 'new' Darlaston station closed and the original station changed its name to James Bridge for Darlaston.
In March 1889 the name changed to Darlaston and James Bridge.
