Due to significant disruption on GWR, TransPennine Express & LNER services, our services are expected to be busier than usual today. All our services will continue to operate as planned. We are doing everything we can to accommodate passengers. Additional services have been put in place to support GWR on 10 May. Please see here for details.

The new accommodation for our 500 people at Birmingham was completed as part of Network Rail's Gateway project to transform the station. The move was achieved over a single weekend and has already proved popular amongst those based there.
The state of the art accommodation was completed in just over 12 months and is split over three floors, with floor-to-ceiling windows and views over the station. The building has an eco-friendly roof incorporating 14 different species of low-maintenance plants and grass as well as solar panels.
The name was chosen as the building is situated on the site of an old railway gas lamp supply store.
