Disruption warning over months of railway works

The station will be one of three new ones forming the Camp Hill line

Three months of works are due to start on Monday to create pick-up and drop-off zones at a new railway station in Birmingham.

Moseley Village Railway Station is one of a trio being built in the city to form the Camp Hill line with work due to be finished on all of them by the end of the year.

A design of the drop-off zone at the Moseley site has been released by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) who said the overall aim of the scheme is to bring back passenger rail services in south Birmingham.

The first phase begins on Monday and includes temporary traffic lights and diversions at the junction of St Mary's Row and Oxford Road.

The second is due to start soon afterwards with both stages set to take about three months.

"When it opens, it's going to be a fantastic asset for the community," Jo Shore, from TfWM, said.

Residents and businesses were told of the disruption in writing and at drop-in sessions over the summer, a spokesperson for the West Midlands Combined Authority said.

They added that journey times into Birmingham New Street were expected to be about 10-15 minutes once the overall scheme was up and running.

Work has begun on the platforms and other buildings at Moseley Village along with the other two, Pineapple Road and Kings Heath, and a new footbridge was installed at the latter over the summer.
