Birmingham: Moor Street has been named the best railway station Britain (2014)
27 Jan 2014.
West Midlands Railway 172339, Stratford Upon Avon to Birmingham Moor Street - 23/03/2019
Filmed on 23/03/2019. For another train ride but on an usual class in the Turobstar fleet. In 2012, the latest edition of the class 172's were introduced into service replacing the class 150/1 which were transferred to either Northern or Great Western Railway. The 172's are unique to say the least with a compatible top speed of 100 MPH but because these are fitted with ZF gearboxes, these make them better and more economical. This means they are highly suited on fast and local stopping diagrams.
The train we ride on is 2W80 which is the 14:03 West Midlands Railway service from Stratford Upon Avon to Stourbridge Junction, taking the train as far as Birmingham Moor Street. The diagram is shown of the calling points:
Stratford Upon Avon
Stratford Upon Avon Parkway
Dorridge
Windey Moor
Solihull
Olton
Acocks Green
Birmingham Moor Street
Also, Chiltern Railways also operates services from Stratford Upon Avon to Leamington Spa.

Birmingham Moor Street - The Answer to most beautiful train station
A trip to Birmingham brought another chance to film with my new-ish GH2. One of the most beautiful stations in the UK must be Birmingham Moor Street. With its old antique brown signs and colourful platforms - a wonderful job to renovate a great station (much much much nicer than Birmingham New Street).
While browsing the charity shops I stumbled on a promo of a CD single by Josh Kumra and it blended nicely with the Moor Street Footage.

Birmingham UK 2020. CITY CENTRE WALK Birmingham New Street (Grand Central) to Moor St Station 1080p
Birmingham UK 2020. CITY CENTRE WALK Birmingham New Street (Grand Central) to Moor St Station 1080p
Here is a walk through video of the journey between Birmingham New Street (Grand Central) to Moor St Station, this change between stations is probably one of the most common when going Via Birmingham. A lot of people who visit the city for the first time get confused and lost between these two stations so hopefully this can help people reach there destination with more ease.
A little info on both stations
Birmingham New St (Grand Central)
New Street station was built by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) between 1846 and 1854, on the site of several streets in a marshy area known as The Froggery. Samuel Carter, solicitor to both LNWR and the Midland Railway, managed the conveyancing. It was built in the centre of Birmingham, replacing several earlier rail termini on the outskirts of the centre, most notably Curzon Street, which had opened in 1838, and was no longer adequate for the level of traffic.
Until 1885 the LNWR shared the station with the Midland. However, in 1885 the Midland Railway opened its own extension alongside the original station for the exclusive use of its trains, effectively creating two stations side-by-side. The two companies stations were separated by a central roadway; Queens Drive.
Birmingham New Street is the largest and busiest of the three main railway stations in the Birmingham City Centre, England. It is a central hub of the British railway system. It is a major destination for Avanti West Coast services from London Euston, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley via the West Coast Main Line, and the national hub of the CrossCountry network – the most extensive in Britain, with long-distance trains serving destinations from Aberdeen to Penzance] It is also a major hub for local and suburban services within the West Midlands, including those on the Cross City Line between Lichfield Trent Valley, Redditch, and Bromsgrove, and the Chase Line to Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley.
The station is named after New Street, which runs parallel to the station, although the station has never had a direct entrance to New Street except via the Grand Central shopping centre. Historically the main entrance to the station was on Stephenson Street, just off New Street. Today the station has entrances on Stephenson Street, Smallbrook Queensway, Hill Street and Navigation Street.
New Street is the sixth busiest railway station in the UK and the busiest outside London, with 43.7 million passenger entries and exits between April 2017 and March 2018. It is also the busiest interchange station outside London, with nearly 6.8 million passengers changing trains at the station annually. In 2018 New Street had a passenger satisfaction rating of 92%, the third highest in the UK.
Birmingham Moor St Station
Earlier history (1909-1987)
At the turn of the 20th Century, suburban rail traffic into Birmingham was growing rapidly. The Great Western Railway greatly expanded their facilities in the city at that time to cope with the demands. Snow Hill station, their main station in Birmingham, was extensively rebuilt and expanded. However, the twin tracked Snow Hill tunnel, which ran underneath the city centre into Snow Hill from the south, did not have enough capacity to accommodate all of the traffic, and widening the tunnel was considered impractical. In order to solve the capacity problem therefore, Moor Street station was built at the opposite end of the tunnel to take terminating local trains from the south and relieve traffic.
Birmingham Moor Street is one of three main railway stations in the city centre of Birmingham, England, along with Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Snow Hill.
Today's Moor Street station is a combination of the original station, opened in 1909 by the Great Western Railway as a terminus for local trains, and a newer Moor Street station with through platforms, a short distance from the original, which opened in 1987, replacing the original. The two were combined into one station in 2002, when the original was reopened and restored, and the newer station rebuilt in matching style.
Moor Street has become more important in recent years; two of the original terminus platforms were reopened in 2010, and the station is now the terminus of many Chiltern Railways services from London Marylebone, as well as being an important stop for local services on the Snow Hill Lines. It is now the second busiest railway station in Birmingham.

Onboard the Chiltern Railways Class 68 | Birmingham Moor Street - London Marylebone | 22/02/18
My video from the 22nd February, where I travelled on Chiltern Railway’s ‘Silver Service’ from Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone. Some impressive noise coming from this Class 68, 68010, named ‘The Oxford Flyer’. Accelerating and going through tunnels sounded incredible as we sped towards London. It was the first time I had ever ridden the Chiltern Mainline, and was impressed by the 68’s acceleration and speed.

Birmingham Snow Hill
Birmingham Snow Hill is a railway station in Birmingham City Centre, England. It is one of the three main city-centre stations in Birmingham along with Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Moor Street.
Snow Hill was once the main station of the Great Western Railway in Birmingham, and at its height it rivalled New Street station, with competitive services to destinations including London Paddington, Wolverhampton Low Level, Birkenhead Woodside, Wales and South West England. The station has been rebuilt several times since the first station at Snow Hill; a temporary wooden structure, was opened in 1852; it was rebuilt as a permanent station in 1871, and then rebuilt again on a much grander scale during 1906-1912. The electrification of the main line from London to New Street in the 1960s saw New Street favoured over Snow Hill, which saw most of its services withdrawn in the late 1960s. This led to the station's eventual closure in 1972, and demolition five years later. After fifteen years of closure a new Snow Hill station, the present incarnation, was built; it reopened in 1987.
Today, most of the trains using Snow Hill are local services on the Snow Hill Lines operated by West Midlands Railway, serving Worcester Shrub Hill, Kidderminster, Stourbridge Junction, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Solihull.
