Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Hazelwell Station, near Kings Heath, Birmingham During early days of Birmingham's Cross-city rail service, many trains from Longbridge would go directly from Kings Norton to New Street via the freight line through Kings Heath. This enabled additional rolling stock to reach Birmingham without stacking up through Bournville and University.

The benefit to us railway photographers were rare views of former passenger stations on this ex-Midland Railway route. Hazelwell Station, closed in 1941, the southern platform and buildings are in this photo, was accessed from Cartland Road, situated between Kings Heath and Kings Norton. These buildings have since been dismantled.

The good news is the line is hoped to be reopened in future to passengers, when funding arrives for a new loop line to take trains to Bordesley and Moor Street instead of through St Andrews junction to New Street.
