First a question for the Mods. Should we keep this thread for historical stuff and have a new thread for the HS2 station?
My comment is that as this is election year, Andy Street has updated his transport map for 2040. This shows the planned new chords at Bordesley to allow the Nottingham and Leicester trains from the East Midlands and the Cardiff (and possibly Bristol) trains to come into Moor Street allowing passengers from those points to access HS2. With the cancellation of the northern route for HS2, I would have doubts that this will be needed. I have worked out that this is the reason for the announcement that in future the Chiltern trains will all continue to Snow Hill once platform 4 is brought back into use.
A point I have been making ever since the maps were produced for HS2 is that this station will in fact be in Moor Street right next to the old Moor Street station and with the interconnecting footbridge will have the effect of making them one station.
