A £600,000 investment from London Midland will make it easier for commuters and shoppers to buy train tickets.
London Midland has invested in 19 new ticket machines, which will accept coins, notes and credit cards, making it quicker and easier for passengers to pay for their fares.
The machines have been installed at stations including Marston Green, Chester Road, Erdington, Wylde Green, Five Ways, Bromsgrove, Tamworth, Dorridge, Tame Bridge, Tile Hill, Droitwich Spa, Lichfield Trent Valley and Great Malvern.
New machines have also been installed in Stratford-upon-Avon, St Albans Abbey, Wellington, Kidderminster, Cradley Heath and Rugeley Trent Valley.
London Midland managing director Steve Banaghan said: "We're delighted to be making this investment in improving customer service at several of our stations that currently do not have an automatic ticket vending machine.
"The machines, which are the latest design, accept coins, notes and cards and also allow passengers to collect tickets they have booked on the website. Tickets can be purchased from that location to any destination on the UK rail network; not just for local journeys.
"At staffed stations, London Midland employees will continue working in our ticket offices to help passengers by dealing with more complex enquiries and by providing other assistance. But why wait in the queue for your ticket when you can easily buy it from our new machine instead?"
