Birmingham Curzon Street Station will be at the heart of the high-speed rail network in the West Midlands. It will be one of the most environmentally-friendly stations in the world.

Sitting at the heart of the high-speed rail network, it will give people more choice about where they live, work and play.

The station itself will be net zero carbon in operation and adopt the latest eco-friendly design and sustainable technologies, including capturing rainwater and utilising sustainable power generation, with over 2,800m2 of solar panels located on platform canopies.

It is designed to meet a ‘BREEAM excellent’ standard, which is an industry recognised standard for buildings that reduce energy usage and materials waste and minimise their impact on the natural environment.

The railway will arrive into Birmingham on Curzon No 2 Viaduct, which has been nicknamed “The Bellingham Bridge” by the team in honour of England superstar and Stourbridge-born Jude Bellingham.
