About Birmingham Moor Street

Birmingham Moor Street is a well-preserved Edwardian terminus station in the heart of Birmingham city centre, serving frequent Chiltern Railways services to London Marylebone via the Chiltern Main Line. Opened in 1909 and sympathetically restored in the early 2000s, it retains much of its original tilework, ironwork, and platform canopies, offering a glimpse into the golden age of Great Western Railway architecture. Its location next to the Bullring shopping centre and Grand Central makes it one of the most convenient rail access points for Birmingham's retail and commercial core.
