Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Moor Street Station Birmingham Moor Street station is one of only a handful of the region's stations to be completely renovated (as opposed to rebuilt) and reopened as part of the national rail network. Originally opened in 1909, the former 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. With the tunnel link between Snow Hill and Moor Street closing in 1968 and demolition of the goods depot, Moor Street rapidly became a dilapidated and overgrown 'forgotten' station in the centre of Birmingham. 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. http://www.railaroundbirmingham.co.uk/Stations/moor_street.php |
