Birmingham Moor Street station: water tower
The Great Western Railway water tower was originally at Tyseley depot in Birmingham and was re-erected as part of the 2010-2014 restoration of Moor Street, to enable it to be used by steam-hauled charter trains.
Birmingham Moor Street Station
Birmingham Moor Street is one of three main railway stations in the city centre of Birmingham, along with Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Snow Hill. The station opened in 1909.
Moor Street has become more important in recent years, as it is now the terminus of many Chiltern Railways services from London Marylebone, as well as being an important stop for local services on the Snow Hill Lines. It is now the second busiest railway station in Birmingham.
