The stop is in the brick-lined former Great Western Railway cutting in the centre of the town, and is next to Bilston bus station. The platforms here are staggered, with the Birmingham platform being further north than the Wolverhampton platform, this was made necessary by the narrowness of the cutting.
The tram stop is a short distance to the north from the original Bilston Central railway station which was situated on the Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level Line and closed in 1972.
