Camp Hill Line Stations, Birmingham
VolkerFitzpatrick is the principal contractor to design and build three railway stations on the Camp Hill line in south Birmingham, on behalf of Transport for West Midlands (TfWM).
The £61 million scheme has reintroduced passenger train services to Moseley (Moseley Village station), Kings Heath and Hazelwell (Pineapple Road station) for the first time in 80 years. The three original stations in this area closed in 1941. Since then, the area’s population has grown and there’s greater commercial activity, meaning more people are travelling. This has led to traffic congestion and long journey times. The new stations offer south Birmingham residents an environmentally friendly alternative to using a car and experiencing traffic jams on Alcester Road for their city centre commute.
The stations each have two platforms suitable for six-car trains. The stations also have pedestrian footbridges, stairs and lifts, ticket machines and information systems, passenger help points on each platform and secure bike parking. Alongisde that the stations at Pineapple Road and Moseley Village also have a pick-up and drop-off area.
This project was led by TfWM, which is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE). The WMCA provided £36 million towards the cost, with £20 million from the Department for Transport and the remaining £5 million from Birmingham City Council’s clean air zone fund. Partners included Network Rail and operator West Midlands Railway. Work on site began in November 2022 with work at the Stations concluding in April 2025.
VolkerFitzpatrick also worked on the University Station redevelopment for TfWM. Both projects are part of West Midlands Rail Programme (WMRP).
After more than 70 years without a train service, people in Kings Heath, Moseley, and Stirchley can see the progress that is being made - the ground has been strengthened, platforms and stations are taking shape, and we have already carried out timetable testing runs on the line.
