University (Birmingham) Train Station

Station message

Following the redevelopment of University which concluded in January 2024, the former station building is now exit-only. Passengers wishing to enter the station should do so via the entrances in the new station building. This is to help control the flow of passengers through the station and avoid queues. If you are visiting the new station building for the first time please allow additional time to familiarise yourself with the new entrance/exit arrangements
