Kings Norton railway station is distinct from other stations by keeping some features which predate the changes made to the Cross-City line in the 1970's. Although a new ticket office has been built the old one was never knocked down and lies in the car park, derelict, although there have been some plans to convert this into a cafe. The station also has four platforms instead of two seen on many other stations on the Cross-City line. The station was converted to four platforms in the 1930s , although now only the outer platforms are used. The station lies between Kings Norton and Cotteridge on the A441 Road which runs between Birmingham and Redditch. Like Selly Oak Railway Station a new extension car park was built which provides a Park And Ride facility. The current Kings Norton station was in fact the second station to be built in Kings Norton. Lifford Railway Station was first built on what is now the Cross-City Line , although later Lifford stations were built on what is now the Camp Hill Goods Line, which runs to the east of the Birmingham City Centre. Kings Norton was opened in 1849 and refurbished as part of the Cross-City line in 1978. Kings Norton is only served by Central Trains services, using Class 323 Electric Multiple Units . Central Trains operate the Cross-City line on behalf of Centro . EXTERNAL LINKS |
