Jewellery Quarter station is a railway station and tram stop, situated in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham, England. The station is served by London Midland (who operate the station), Chiltern Railways, and the Midland Metro.
The station is set some 70 feet (20m) below the elevation of its road-level access point; stairs and a lift are provided.
London Midland are proposing the closure of Jewellery Quarter ticket office.
History[]
The station was opened in 1995, as part of the "Jewellery Line" project which saw the re-introduction of cross-city services via Birmingham Snow Hill. Midland Metro services commenced in 1999, when its first (and so far only) line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton opened.
No previous station existed at this location, although it is a short distance from the previous Hockley, opened by the Great Western Railway in 1854 and closed in 1972.
Services[]
Most trains are operated by London Midland. The Monday to Saturday daytime service sees trains approximately every 10 minutes in each direction, from Stourbridge Junction via Birmingham Snow Hill to either Dorridge or Whitlocks End. Most trains continue beyond Stourbridge to Kidderminster, Worcester Foregate Street or Great Malvern, and some beyond Whitlocks End to Stratford-upon-Avon.
Chiltern Railways services operate in peak hours only, between Kidderminster and London Marylebone. Unlike London Midland services, which apart from very rare cases always stop, very few Chiltern trains call at Jewellery Quarter.
Midland Metro services operate at frequent intervals, between Birmingham Snow Hill and Wolverhampton St Georges.
