An overall view of the new University station which features two similarly designed buildings on each side of the line. This view is looking towards Birmingham New Street.
THE extensive rebuild of Birmingham’s busy University station has been completed, and the new buildings – ready to cater for an estimated 3.5 million passengers a year – opened on January 28.
The original station dates from 1978 and was designed for around 500,000 passengers per year, but expansion and growth of both the University of Birmingham and nearby Queen Elizabeth Hospital overwhelmed the existing facilities.
