Summary[edit]

Description

Five Ways Station from Islington Row Middleway in Edgbaston. It is on the Cross City Line. Also used by Cross Country Trains as well as London Midland services.

There is a disused railway line between the existing line and the canal.

The current Five Ways Station opened in 1978.

The original one opened in 1876 and closed in 1944.

The Worcester & Birmingham Canal is to the far left.

It was the Central Goods line.

Could this be restored and brought back into use in the future? Does the blocked tunnels go to New Street?
