Station design
Birmingham Curzon Street Station is set to become a key destination and thriving entry and departure point as part of Britain’s new high-speed railway. The building’s design is inspired by the great arched roofs built by the Victorian railway pioneers, and takes that inspiration into the 21st Century, ensuring accessibility and a focus on the open space and landscaping around it.
Passenger experience has been a key driver in the detailed design process, which incorporates a number of improvements to the station’s features. These include:
additional cycle parking
rainfall capture in planted areas, with landscaping, lighting, paving and seating spaces
better accessibility at pedestrian entrances
durable external ceramic tiling, and
a more unified internal layout of the eastern concourse which allows passengers to change platforms without leaving the ticketed area, enhancing the experience of people using the station.
The new station design focuses on accessibility and sustainability and is classed as ‘excellent’ by the world’s largest building sustainability certification provider, BREEAM. This classification is a result of the reduced energy usage, achieved through initiatives such as the use of LED lighting and solar panels, materials waste, and impact on the natural environment of the building.
As well as the modern features the seven-platform station also takes inspiration from the Victorian railway pioneers with its elegant arched roof. There is also an emphasis on open spaces with the design featuring four new public areas, including two squares and a promenade, as well as cycle parking for more than 550 bicycles and accessible pedestrian routes.
Once built, the station will strengthen Birmingham’s transport connections, support the regeneration of Eastside and Digbeth, and play a vital role in the long-term economic future of the West Midlands.

Station construction
Foundation works for the new Birmingham Curzon Street Station were started in January 2024 with installation of the 2,000 concrete columns beginning in October 2024. The majority of these columns will support the new station building and platforms above with a smaller number being used to create the main walls of the station basement, which will house operational facilities. The station building itself will start to be built in 2025 with the walls going up first followed by work on the concourse and roof. The internal fit-out of the station will start towards the end of 2025 and finish at the end of 2028 and operational testing and commissioning will run from summer 2026 to autumn 2028.
The project will create more than 1,000 jobs in its main works phase. This is part of a transformative investment in the West Midlands, with contracts worth £816 million awarded to local companies in 2022 alone – almost twice the economic value delivered by the Commonwealth Games. Birmingham City Council also intends to spend £724 million on regeneration through its Curzon Investment Plan. Taking place over three decades, the scheme is set to create several new neighbourhoods across almost 150 hectares, including up to 4,000 homes and 36,000 jobs.
Once operational, HS2’s Birmingham terminus will offer seamless connections to the local transport network, including buses and the Midland Metro, with a tram line running alongside and under the station.
