Birmingham City Centre is served by three major railway stations; New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill. Birmingham New Street is at the heart of the UK rail network and is the city's major railway hub with direct links to all other major cities in Great Britain. Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill serve local destinations in Warwickshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands and also have a link with London. Birmingham New Street is managed and operated by Network Rail, Birmingham Moor Street is managed and operated by Chiltern Railways and Birmingham Snow Hill is managed and operated by London Midland. These three stations form the Birmingham Stations station group, a notional common station for ticketing purposes. There are two other railway stations in central Birmingham, namely Five Ways in the south west of the city centre with connections on the New Street to Redditch line, and Jewellery Quarter in the north west of the city centre with connections on the Snow Hill to Worcester line and the Midland Metro. Birmingham International railway station is not located in the city centre, but approximately east by the airport and National Exhibition Centre. ==Connections== Birmingham Snow Hill and Birmingham Moor Street are connected by a tunnel which is located beneath Birmingham city centre. There are frequent train services between the two stations. Birmingham New Street is not connected to Snow Hill or Moor Street by rail, but is approximately a half mile walk from Snow Hill and a quarter mile walk from Moor Street. Rail passengers connecting between New Street and services on the Snow Hill/Moor Street route are generally advised to make their connection via Moor Street. There are currently no direct bus connections between the three stations, but expansion plans for Midland Metro City Centre line will see the Metro extended from its current terminus at Snow Hill to a new terminus at New Street, meaning a regular tram connection will exist between the two stations. Birmingham New street and Moor Street are close to the major shopping centres in the city including The Pallasades, Birmingham Bullring and The Paviilions. All three stations have a good interchange with bus services mostly operated by Travel West Midlands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Railway stations in Birmingham city centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
