The station has recently had a fresh lick of paint, which has really spruced up the place. The ticket office tends to be shut after 6pm, so you will need to go down the ramp and across the bridge to get to the other platform for trains heading towards Brum.

London midland run the station, and serve the station with 2 to 3 services an hour to Coventry, and Birmingham Stations.

A basic train station serving the town centre of Solihull, while the facilities are limited, as…read moreexpected for a small station, Solihull Railway Station still serves its' purpose of providing useful railway services to the town with connections into Birmingham and London. Services are provided by West Midlands Railway and Chiltern Railways. All services call via Birmingham city centre (Moor Street or Snow Hill), yet sadly none go into New Street or Birmingham International (For the NEC and Airport). The station is fully staffed, with taxis and some bus services stopping right outside to continue your journey, you may need to get a bus to Touchwood and then change over to another service though. 3* - OK, pretty average island platform station, yet useful for providing quick connections between Birmingham and Solihull, saving a lot of time compared to the bus.

Cross Country serve the…read morestation occasionally when replacing stops at Coventry and Birmingham International during engineering work. The station has trains that run to most areas of the country and wherever the trains don't go it's fairly simple to make a change. The staff at Solihull station are polite, very helpful and knowledgeable about the journeys. I've seen some nervous travellers and nine times out of ten the staff have always put their mind at ease about the journey. When the weather is cold nobody wants to be outside (unless you like the cold) and the waiting rooms here usually don't have the heating on. On the other hand they provide a warmer atmosphere than outside. If the money is available, the waiting rooms would really benefit from heaters that people can put on themselves and comfier seats. I've seen this in a few other train stations. If you're visiting Solihull or want to know about the events then this is a good place to come and pick up some leaflets or even talk to the staff to see what's going on.

Hall green station is actually quite nice. It's clean enough and has a full cover over the main…read moreplatform (towards Birmingham) with a shelter the opposite side (towards Stratford Upon Avon). This is a huge relief on a rainy morning, on your way into work! The ticket office is open most days, but does tend to close quite early - about 6-7pm. If it's closed, you can only use the permit to travel, but never put the full fare in there, as sometimes it swallows your money! I usually opt for 5p and pay the rest later. The one guy that works there is really lovely (the Asian guy) and always goes out of his way to help. I think his name is Harry - can anyone confirm? He always tries to make sure you get your train, by serving really quickly when they are due. He's also refunded and replaced my ticket when I bought the wrong one (keeping the incorrect ticket to sell to somebody else). There's not many people that would do that! The other guy that works there (older white guy) is a bit grumpy and not so helpful, but does his job well. Overall, I'd sat this is one of the better train stations in South Birmingham, at least and I never really feel in any danger there from anti-social behaviour.

You feel as though you could be waiting in a hamlet for your train to the local cattle market when…read moreyou're at Hall Green - that is if you ignore all the signs of inner-city neglect resulting in squalor and dilapidation. However it is in comparison to most train stations a very pleasant and quiet place to wait for your train. You can park your car for free and get Moor Street for around £3, so it's certainly one of the more economical ways of venturing into town. O how it brings back many fond memories when I visit there, of drunken commutes into the city-centre to search for life-meaning in off-licenses and clubs. Those days are past and I'm often the civilised human being that you observe but never may know who catches the train silently and obediently, with something of importance to him at the other end of the journey.

Birmingham has three main stations, New Street, Snow Hill and Moor Street and it's from this last one that is possible to discover really interesting destinies around the Midlands. The Lakes railway Station is certainly one of those exciting routes! Get the train for Moor Street station to Stratford Upon Avon is the first step. The second one is to know that The Lakes station is a required stop, which means the conductor is only stop there if you ask him for doing this. The same at the journey back! Make yourself visible at the platform or the train will not stop at this station! Even if this historical station is considered a tourist spot itself, there are much more to be seen in this area. So once you reach your destiny, starting exploring the area. An excellent option to start with are The Earlswood Lakes and the local pubs nearby it!
