From its three railway stations – New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill – passengers can travel to a variety of key destinations, with the journey to central London taking just over an hour and Manchester just 45 minutes away.
The busiest commuter railway station outside of London, Birmingham New Street has recently undergone a significant refurbishment to ensure that it is fit to handle the 140,000 passengers that use the station every day.
The terminus of the first phase of the proposed HS2 high speed rail line – which will boost capacity and reduce journey times between London and Birmingham – is due to be delivered in the city’s East Side, where a brand new transport hub will be created at Curzon Street.
