University (Birmingham) Station

The University (Birmingham) railway station, originally opened in 1987, underwent a major redevelopment, completed in 2019, to better accommodate the growing number of passengers. As of 2024, it serves approximately 3.5 million passengers annually, making it one of the busiest stations in the West Midlands. Uniquely, it is the only main line railway station in Great Britain specifically built to serve a university. The station provides vital connections for students, staff, and visitors to the University of Birmingham, Birmingham Women's Hospital, and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Served by West Midlands Trains, the station offers frequent services to a range of key destinations including Birmingham New Street, Four Oaks, Lichfield Trent Valley, Longbridge, and Redditch. The station's location within the university campus means there is no on-site parking available, but passengers can easily transfer to nearby Selly Oak station for additional travel options. For those looking to explore the area, Selly Oak is conveniently adjacent to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, which is a popular spot for walking, cycling, and jogging, offering a scenic route for outdoor enthusiasts.
