Information on Birmingham New Street Station



As might be expected, the principle city of the Midlands is also an important rail centre where major InterCity routes intersect and where thousands of commuters make their daily jouneys on the trains. Birmingham New Street handles over 80 per cent of the daily total of services includingthe long-distance trains from London Euston to the North, the well-used services from the South and South West to Scotland, Newcastle and Manchester/Liverpool and the East-West services to East Anglia and through Central Wales.

All this began with a very modest Vauxhall train shed which the Grand Junction Railway providedfor its trains to the North in 1837. It  was followed in 1838 by the London & Birmingham Railway's Curzon Street for which Philip Hardwick provided a rectangular building decorated by lonic columns and approached through ornamental iron gates. The two-platform station was connected to its GJR neighbour to allow through services between London and the North West. The Birmingham & Derby Junction Railway and the Birmingham & Gloucester Railway, destined to contribute to the creation of the Midland Railway and today's North East/South West route, initially used a terminus at Lawley Street but then transferred to the L&B station and added to the congestion which, was to lead to its replacement by New Street. Both Lawley Street and Curzon Street continued as goods depots and the former, after a fallow period following the 1968 closure, became a local authority centre for community support groups.
  Although the LNWR's Trent Valley cut-off line took some of th London traffic away from Birmingham, this was more than offset by the growth in its own railway activity, which included the arrival of the Great Western Railway. Initial distrust between the Grand Junction and London & Birmingham companies virtually invited GWR involvement. When it came it was to produce a new main line to London via Oxfordand, from the 1852 opening of the Birmingham & Oxford Railway, a new Birmingham station which was later to be called Snow Hill. Although Snow Hill was to close after 120 years of operational service, it has now been reopened under a West Midlands initiative and is again dealing with passengers to and from the former GWR main line.

The New Street station which replaced Curzon Street became fully operational fro June 1 1854 and in 1885 was given seperate platforms for its Midland Railway services. It later became a joint station, with the LNMR and MR then handing it over to the LMS to manage the 14 platforms crowded beneath the vast roof and spanned by a long footbridge which preserved an old right of way. This old New Street, no great shakes as station go, was replaced in a major scheme linked with BR's electrification of the area. Its 12 through platforms now lie beneath a vast shopping centre and office complex and are reached by triple escalators. These lead to a large circulating area embracing the ticket, information and other services, with access to the trains then being from a long passageway which accommodates further facilities. The station is well laid out and operated, but very functional.
