Birmingham's Moor Street station reopens old platforms
Two refurbished platforms at Birmingham's Moor Street station are set to open to passengers - for the first time since 1987
www.bbc.comI don’t have live tool access right now to pull the very latest updates. Here’s what I can share based on recent publicly available information up to late 2025:
- Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone is a Chiltern Railways service on the Chiltern Main Line route. Typical patterns involve direct trains from Moor Street to Marylebone, often with some services calling at intermediate towns such as Leamington Spa and Banbury. If you’re planning a trip, check the latest timetable for any weekend engineering works, as these routes occasionally undergo upgrades that can affect departures and journey times.
- Recent years have seen Moor Street refurbished and expanded to increase capacity, reinforcing its role as a key Birmingham city-centre terminus for London Marylebone services. Ongoing infrastructure projects along the line have periodically required timetable adjustments or weekend diversions. For the most reliable plan, look up the current timetable and any operator notices close to your travel date.
If you’d like, I can gather the latest status and exact departure times for your date and provide a concise travel plan, including alternatives if there’s planned engineering work. Just tell me your preferred date and time window, and your starting point in Zürich (or nearby), and I’ll tailor the details.
