Birmingham Moor Street Train Station

Birmingham Moor Street Train Station predominantly services routes to London Marylebone and Birmingham’s southern suburbs. It’s an excellently located station, as it’s right in front of Birmingham’s massively popular Bullring Shopping Centre, and very close to Birmingham New Street Train Station if you have ongoing connections.

The current Moor Street is a blend of the old 1909 and 1987 station buildings, which were amalgamated in 2002. The original 1909 station was restored, and the 1987 station was rebuilt to match its style, creating a classically styled station reminiscent of its past.

  • A ticket office at the main concourse (opening times: Monday to Friday 5.40am – 12.10am; Saturday: 5.55am – 11.55pm; Sunday: 8.40am – 12.10pm). You can book train tickets as well as monthly and annual season tickets at the ticket office.
  • Self-service and accessible ticket machines are next to the main ticket office. Plus, you can collect tickets you have bought online from the self-service machines
  • Step-free access to all platforms.
  • Boards to check the real-time train timetable.
  • ATMs, shops, and hospitality.
  • Public telephones and public Wi-Fi.
  • 28 bicycle storage racks between Platform Two and Three at the south end of the station.
