The railway terminus is underused and under publicised. It demonstrates victorian architecture yet provides the traveler with all the modern facilities you would expect in a high quality travel facility - by this I mean NO McDonalds! It is a pity that in the publicity produced by many tourist and hospitality facilities in Birmingham the existence of Moor Street and... More

As a station it has all you expect & more. Lots of character & a nicer way in than New Street currently offers visitors to Birmingham. Still we hope that changes when all the work is completed.

Chiltern Railways 'run from here' to London Marylebone Station, the whole Experience is far more relaxed & personal, the Trains aren't so crowded & although the Train stops a few more times than the 'express' from New St. in total it only takes an extra 20mins or so. There is a really great Cafe in the Station, which is always... More

A beautiful old station that must be a listed building. The whole station has a quaint charm. Aside from the trains everything else from the signage, architecture and feel is of the 30s. Well worth a visit if you are in Brum. There are precious few stations left like this in the UK so this is a little gem.

Ok train was delayed, very small station staff friendly. Tickets tend t be cheaper from this station as it is not New Street and a smaller station.
