A rather forgotten part of the Birmingham railway scene, Lifford Canal Branch started life as part of the Birmingham West Suburban Railway's line linking the Birmingham and Gloucester's line through Kings Norton (along the Camp Hill line) with a new 'City Centre' terminus at Granville Street.

This move also led to the closure in the same year of the second incarnation of 'Lifford station' which stood on the line for a mere 9 years (although this fared better than the first 'Lifford station' that stood on the B&G line and only lasted from 1840 - 1844)!.
