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).

Bath Green Park on 20th February 1980. The train shed lost a lot of glass during bombing raids in April 1942. This wasn't replaced until restoration of the building after closure.Previous | NextThe 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.
