HS2 has revealed its vision for a new station at Curzon Street, Birmingham with a design by WSP, Grimshaw, Glenn Howells Architects and landscape architecture by Grant Associates.
The city centre station is one of two new stations planned by HS2 for the Midlands, the second will be in Solihull with a design team led by Arup.
Images of the two stations have been revealed this month at Birmingham Library in the first of a series of public engagement events during October, which give people the opportunity to see the new designs and give feedback.
Curzon Street Station will be the first brand new intercity station built in Britain since the 19th century, creating a new landmark for Birmingham and boosting opportunities for regeneration in the city.
Due to open in 2026, the new station will offer seven high speed platforms to rail passengers, along with significant new public spaces around the new station.
The station, which will be located next to the original 1838 Curzon Street Station, will be fully integrated into an extended tram network, as well as offering pedestrian, cycle, taxi, bus and conventional rail connections to the rest of the city and the wider West Midlands.
