A £61 million mega-project is bringing three brand new railway stations to one major city in the UK to provide faster, more reliable public transport.
The stations will be constructed on the Camp Hill line in South Birmingham as part of the West Midlands Rail Programme (WMRP) - in Kings Heath, Moseley Village, and Pineapple Road.
The great availability of trains will also replace up to 25 percent of car journeys, helping to improve the local area by reducing congestion and pollution.
They will shorten journey times in South Birmingham and support the community by making it easier for people to travel and access the stations.
The three new stations will also create over 130 jobs during their construction. VolkerFitzpatrick has been hired as the principal contractor to design and build them, and work is already underway.
Three stations did originally exist in this area, but they closed down in 1941, and the population increase and commercial activity has created an even greater need to build new ones.
Traffic congestion and long journey times have become real problems for people in South Birmingham, and so the three new stations will help to tackle this.
They will all have two platforms suitable for six-car trains, pedestrian footbridges, stairs and lifts, ticket machines and information systems, passenger help points on each platform, and secure bike parking.

The Pineapple Road and Moseley Village stations will also have pick-up and drop-off points.
They will also make travelling to Birmingham New Street even faster, which could save passengers up to 30 minutes.
Transport for West Midlands has warned of ongoing construction works on the new Pineapple Road station, so locals can expect to hear machinery equipment, including piling rigs, cranes, excavators, and dumpers.
