New Birmingham commuter stations move a step closer

-

TRANSPORT for West Midlands (TfWM) has appointed VolkerFitz­patrick to build three railway stations on the Camp Hill line in south Birmingham. The £61 million scheme will reintroduc­e passenger services to Moseley, Kings Heath and Hazelwell for the first time in 80 years.

Design work has already started and work on site will begin in November 2022. The stations are expected to be completed next autumn.

The project is being led by TfWM, which is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE). The WMCA is providing £36 million towards the cost, with £20 million from the Department for Transport and the remaining £5 million from Birmingham City Council.
