	Moor Street Station for Bullring Birmingham - Tyseley Locomotive Works & Vintage Trains restoration assistance
		The original GWR Moor Street station (which was built by the GWR and opened in 1908) survived the closures of the 1960's and 1970's and was retained solely for the commuter service to Stratford-upon-Avon.
		However this meant that the original Moor Street terminal station was redundant and a new modern station was built alongside the original on the former non-stop lines (at the south end of the tunnel).
		The original Moor Street station became derelict over the years, and commuters using the new through platforms could be forgiven for wondering why this growing eyesore was left as it was.

	Moor Street Station
		Moor Street station is one of only a handful of the region's stations to be completely rennovated (as opposed to rebuilt) and reopened as part of the national rail network.
		Originally opened in 1909, the fomer Great Western station was built as a terminus for the North Warwickshire lines to alleviate pressure on Snow Hill station - the station is at the other end of a tunnel directly connecting the two stations - and for goods traffic for which a goods depot was built.
		The closure of the old station came in 1987 with the opening of a new 'version' comprising of two platforms on the lines that directly entered the tunnel to Snow Hill which reopened that year and a new entrance.

		Solihull station is at a prime focus of local transport, with a whole pack of bus routes calling near the station door.
