Birmingham Curzon Street and the proposed HS2
The information on this web page was prepared in 2012. It has not been updated since then and so it may no longer be correct.
Below you can see a map from the Ordnance Survey. After a short while, a coloured line will appear superimposed onto it. This line shows the route of the proposed HS2 from Birmingham Curzon Street. The line should be accurate as it is derived from data for the post consultation route that was published by the Department for Transport in January 2012.
The line is coloured blue because this section of the HS2 is a viaduct. The plan is to build an HS2 station called Birmingham Curzon ;Street at the end of this viaduct.
how to use the map below on your own web page
Below there is an image showing a detailed map of Birmingham Curzon Street. This time the route is shown in green (rather than in blue). If you click on the image and then click again, you can see a larger image.
I've annotated the image with coloured lines. These annotations show my understanding of the intentions. So the annotations may be wrong. Also, the lines I've drawn are likely to be inaccurately placed.
- green: route of the proposed HS2
- yellow: route of the existing line from New Street to Birmingham International
- blue: route of the existing line to Derby
- magenta: route of the existing line from Moor Street

The first map on this web page has been generated by www.thehs2.com. The underlying map is provided by OS OpenSpace and this is © Crown copyright and database rights 2012 Ordnance Survey. The generation of the map uses data provided by www.streetmap.co.uk. In order to superimpose an accurate line of the route of the proposed HS2, the map also uses data which was obtained from a shape file provided by the Department for Transport and released with an Open Government Licence.
There's a Department for Transport web site that provides maps of the route of the proposed HS2. In particular, it provides a PDF that has a map showing Birmingham Curzon Street. The second map on this page has been derived from that PDF.
