The wonderfully restored - if a little overgrown - terminus platforms at Birmingham Moor Street on 28th March 2007. What a pity funding could not be found to bring the platforms back into use as suggested by the station's owners, Chiltern Railways.

The London and Birmingham Railway was the first to make it to the city centre when it opened a station at Curzon Street, Birmingham in 1838. Design was by Philip Hardwick who also built the long-lamented original structure at Euston. The opening of New Street Station in 1854 spelled the end of Curzon St. as a passenger terminus and it remained as a goods-only terminal until 1966. (2nd February 1980).Previous | NextThe restored concourse of Birmingham Moor Street oozes steam age atmosphere! 28th March 2007.
