Moseley Station

LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Moseley Station was opened by the Midland Railway on the Camp Hill line in 1867 and closed in 1941. There was, however, a previously named Moseley Station on the same line which changed its name to Kings Heath when this station opened! The Station was built in a deep cutting with trains from the south emerging from a tunnel which was built following objections from the nearby St Mary's Church regarding the spoiling of the landscape, noise, etc . .
