Brighton Road Station
Brighton Road station was the second station on the line to
Gloucester from Birmingham and was opened in 1875 by the Midland Railway. Its
close proximity to the city centre meant it was always vulnerable to
competition first from the trams which had a terminus near by and later the
ubiquitous bus. As with many other stations located near to the centre of
Birmingham, wartime economy measures requiring a reduction in labour and other
expenses, meant that they were closed in January 1941 as their roles were
adequately covered by buses.
