All three proposed stations on the Camp Hill line – Moseley, Kings Heath and Hazelwell - now have planning permission marking a major step forward for plans to reopen the line to passenger services.
The new Moseley Station will include platforms with a canopy, stairs and lifts, a forecourt drop off/pick up area, covered cycle storage, lighting and CCTV installed.

Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), which is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and the West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE) consulted widely with the community, including the Moseley Forum and Moseley Regeneration Group, before submitting the plans.
Following the consultation a traffic light junction at the station entrance with St Mary’s Row was replaced with a roundabout.
David Isgrove, Chair of the Moseley Forum, said: "This is fantastic news after years and years of hoping and waiting. The opening of the railway station will be of great benefit to the community.
"And we’d really like to thank all those involved in getting this decision through, from our own community groups, such as the Moseley Society and the regeneration group, to members of the Moseley Forum and to our councillors and Mayor Andy Street."
