interchange with National Rail at all stations

    Unlike the city centre based Birmingham Curzon Street railway station, the interchange station will be a parkway, serving the east side of Birmingham and surrounding urban areas.[3]

    The station will be on the opposite side of the M42 motorway from the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International railway station.[4] The interchange will be connected by a people mover to these locations with a capacity of over 2,100 passengers per hour in each direction in the peak period.[3]

    Journey time from this station to London is planned to be 38 minutes.[3]

    A proposed 17km long branch of the West Midlands Metro would terminate at this station, connecting it to the local tram network.[5]
