There are two major stations, New Street and Snow Hill. Most trains serving Snow Hill also call at Moor Street which is located near the city centre.
Our thanks go to David Taylor for providing the following information.
A new bus service started on 31 July for a trial period of 1 year called Station Link. It connects New Street, Snow Hill, Digbeth Coach Station and Moor Street, in that order, before returning to New Street.
For the New Street stop, leave New Street Station viathe South entrance and turn right. Cross the taxi road then turn left. Follow the wall on your right. You pass:
The stop is about six paces beyond this advertising board, on your left.
The Snow Hill stop is located right outside the station. Leave Snow Hill Station and proceed straight ahead until you reach the tactile paving for the crossing or the kerb and turn left. The stop is just past the crossing but can get blocked by taxis.
To locate the Moor Street stop, leave Moor Street Station, cross over to the island, then continue forward and cross again. Then turn right and it uses the second stop.
I am not familiar with Digbeth, but the stop is right by the entrance I am told.
This is a regular service running every few minutes from 7 AM to 6 PM, I think every day. It takes about 25 minutes to do a complete round trip and I think there are about 3 buses running it. They are Solo low floor minibuses. These sound quite distinctive as they have 4 cillindar Mercedes engines, so they idle at a very low frequency and often whistle as well, but are actually very good buses to travel in.
