Birmingham West Suburban Railway

The Birmingham West Suburban Railway was a suburban railway built by the Midland Railway company. Opened in 1876, it allowed both the opening of development of central southwest suburban Birmingham south into Worcestershire, and the by-passing of railway traffic via the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway into central Birmingham. Today, it forms a major section of the Cross-City Line, running from Lichfield to Redditch, it also forms an important part of the Cross Country Route.
==Development==
From 1846, Birmingham New Street was constructed as a joint station by the London and North Western Railway and the Midland Railway, to replace several earlier unconnected rail termini, the most notable being Curzon Street. It was opened in 1851 as a temporary rail terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, and completed in 1854.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Street Station )〕 This new site was a through station, designed as two termini back-to-back, allowing for more traffic.
A group of local business men noticed the resultant need for additional capacity south, through what were the under developed suburbs of south Birmingham and villages of northern Worcestershire. They therefore proposed development of a new branch railway, following the route of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal south to the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to allow access to their new station at Kings Norton.
Needing finance for construction of the BWSR, the newly formed Midland Railway became involved in the deal. An eventual agreement was reached with the then loss making canal company, who would be paid a rent for the land, which later became a guarantee of a 1% share dividend.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Timeline - Railways in King's Norton )〕 The payments to the canal company and development began in 1873, and the line was running by 1875.
