Birmingham Snow Hill - As it was in 1994

Channel: John K Wells
Player
Description
In 1994, Birmingham Snow Hill was undergoing a long regeneration plan. Initially re-opened in 1987 after fifteen years of closure, it would still be another year before through services were re-instated with the opening of the Worcester line via Kidderminster and another five years before the first new tram services commenced to Wolverhampton. This 'new' line was largely constructed using the old formation of the GWR through route and became known as the 'Jewellery Line'. Since 2015 the Metro tram system has been further extended and now forms a through connection with Birmingham city centre and beyond.
