 The station was popular with local people who appreciated its convenient location and frequent trains, with high numbers of passengers still using the services as recently as the 1950s.The OW&WR line from Stourbridge Junction to Wolverhampton Low Level closed to passengers in 1962,although a small number of Sunday trains non-stop between Wolverhampton and Worcester continued to use the line until March 1967, while Dudley remained as a terminus for trains from Walsall on the South Staffordshire Line, Old Hill on the Bumble Hole Line and Birmingham Snow Hill until the Beeching Axe had its effect in 1964 despite the station's high passenger turnover at the time.The buildings of Dudley Station remained open for parcels until early 1967, when they were knocked down and replaced by Dudley Freightliner Terminal.
