Item: Stourbridge Junction railway station
Location: Stourbridge, West Midlands, England
by fredhound
Review: Stourbridge Junction railway station serves the medium-sized town of Stourbridge, just inside the boundary of the West Midlands county area. As its name implies, it lies on a junction between two lines - actually there are three, but the third (to Dudley) is now […]

Item: Birmingham Snow Hill railway station
Location: Birmingham, England
by fredhound
Review: Of the three major railway stations in Birmingham, Snow Hill is perhaps the least impressive. Situated as it is under a tower block and with no interesting architecture at all, I try hard to avoid it when I can, as it is often cold, dark […]

Item: Kidderminster railway station
Location: Kidderminster, England
by fredhound
Review: Kidderminster railway station serves the medium-sized town of Kidderminster in northern Worcestershire. Because of its proximity to Birmingham, commuter traffic in particular has been increasing here for several years, and Kidderminster is now a much busier station than it was even five years ago. Unfortunately its infrastructure […]

Item: Birmingham Moor Street railway station
Location:
by fredhound
Review: Birmingham Moor Street is definitely my favourite of the three major railway stations in Birmingham. It is the only one which has a pleasant atmosphere and a thoughtfully designed building. In fact it is about 100 years old, but has only been restored by Chiltern Railways […]

Item: Foregate Street railway station, Worcester, England
Location: Foregate Street, Worcester, England

Item: Chiltern Railways
Location:
by fredhound
Review: Chiltern Railways runs trains between Birmingham and London, as well as less intensive services to Stourbridge and Kidderminster, and a shuttle service to Aylesbury. However, it is the Birmingham to London service that is the company’s major business, and deservedly so, as I think it is the best way […]
