Camp Hill line stations

We’re investing in 3 new stations on the Camp Hill line in South Birmingham.

This project will provide faster, more reliable transport for people who live or work in the area. It will also mean that train journeys could replace up to 25% of car journeys. This will improve the local area, reducing congestion and pollution.

The new stations will shorten journey times in South Birmingham. They’ll also support the community by:

making it easier to travel for work, education or leisure
creating more than 130 jobs during construction
making it easier for everyone to access the stations

We have appointed VolkerFitzpatrick as our principal contractor to design and build the 3 new stations and work is well underway.

Latest work

Work to prepare the ground for construction (such as site clearance and ground stabilisation) has been completed at all station. Both lift shafts have been installed at Kings Heath and one has been installed at Pineapple Road.

Work is continuing on preparatory work for the lifts at Moseley Village and platforms at all stations are taking shape, with current work focusing on installing drainage and platform surfacing.

Upcoming works include the installation of the footbridge at Kings Heath station.

Details of the how the construction may impact you are available on the Transport for West Midlands website.

The challenge - why we’re doing this

The 3 original stations in this area closed in 1941, during World War 2, due to coal shortages. Since then, the population of the area has grown. There’s also more commercial activity. This means more people are travelling. All this has led to traffic congestion and long journey times on the roads.

The solution - what the project will do

There will be 3 new stations at Moseley Village, Kings Heath and Pineapple Road. They’ll each have 2 platforms suitable for 6-car trains. The stations will also have:
