GWR Routes: North Warwickshire Line
Moor Street Station: gwrms251
Exterior view of Moor Street station showing the main
passenger entrance which led to the large spacious booking hall. This building
was not the structure that opened on 1st July 1909, this building was
opened in 1914 as part of of the upgrading of the route between Tyseley and
Moor Street. This part of the station was built above the LNWR and MR lines in
to Birmingham New Street as seen on the map of
the station. Moor Street was rebuilt with terminating platforms to accommodate
the increased commuter services following the opening of the North Warwickshire
line. This provided relief for traffic for Snow Hill which had to pass through
the bottleneck of Snow Hill tunnel.
