	Moor Street Station for Bullring Birmingham - Tyseley Locomotive Works & Vintage Trains restoration assistance
		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.
		The refurbished station will eventually be connected to the mainline network again and provide a Birmingham terminal station for Chiltern Railways for trains from London Marylebone that will travel along the former GWR route.

	BIRMINGHAM REMEMBERED
		Drawing on Birmingham’s historic street patterns, the Bull Ring is composed of a series of traditional streets, squares and open spaces, which once again link New Street and High Street to St Martin’s Church, the open markets, Digbeth and beyond.
		Birmingham's skilled workforce, and the fact that Birmingham was located near the coalfields of northern Warwickshire and Staffordshire, meant that the town grew rapidly during the Industrial revolution.
		Birmingham was recorded as a minor village in the Domesday Book (1086) which stated that there was land for six ploughs, but only three plough teams were used, there were the families of five villiens and four borders; woodland half a league by two furlongs, had no mill nor meadow.

	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.
		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.
		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.

	Dudley Mall - Birmingham Snow Hill to Leamington Spa Rail Services
		You might manage street parking a short walk away, but a lift is unlikely even after the renovations because of the tight access at road level, and Wharfdale Road itself is somewhat difficult, with only a tiny drop-off point in front of the station entrance.
		Although the station offers a limited amount of parking (with 3 disabled spaces), it was cram- packed on our visit, and because Warwick is a touristy historic town built with narrow pre-car streets, parking generally is both difficult and expensive.
		Solihull station is at a prime focus of local transport, with a whole pack of bus routes calling near the station door.

	Dudley Mall - Birmingham to Rugeley Rail Services
		The railway itself is obvious from a distance but the turn up to the station comes suddenly by the railway bridge.
		There is street parking in Station Street alongside, but it is short term (and pretty full at busy times) so it has limited value for rail travellers.
		Take care approaching on the east side: the station access is shared with a water company and their large sign at the same point may fool you into overshooting - and the dual carriageway makes it awkward getting back.

	topic:transport - Rebuilding New Street railway station in Birmingham, England
		Birmingham New Street station was rebuilt in the 1960s as part of the modernisation of the main line between London, Manchester, and Liverpool.
		On the information currently available, it looks as if the new design will be as distinctive as other Birmingham buildings, such as the Central Library, the new Bullring, the University's Muirhead Tower, and Snow Hill station.
		In the absence of the GW main line, it would be very difficult to maintain a satisfactory service between central Birmingham, London, and towns in the north west.

		Through the station there are also two further lines used for goods traffic, particularly the carriage of nuclear fuel flasks to and from Wylfa nuclear power station on Anglesey.
		For travellers from the north arriving at the station by car, the layout of Bangor's one way system means that they can get within twenty yards of the station but are then diverted on a half-mile detour before being able to access the station precinct.

	Dudley Mall - Birmingham New Street
		Birmingham New Street, like most large stations, operates its long platforms as two halves, 'a' and 'b'.
		Worse, the pressure on the station means that any delays in trains en route to New Street can cause last-minute platform changes announced over the public address system (finally upgraded, thank heaven), and a mad scramble to get to the new departure point against a tide of passengers who just got off the incoming train.
		The upper levels of the station are still reasonably modern and ritzy, but the platforms lie in a miserable concrete cave beneath them, with too few seats for the number of passengers often waiting there.
