Split Tickets - Wood Street and Birmingham Trains

 

Splitting your Wood Street to Birmingham train tickets is when, instead of just one more expensive through ticket to Birmingham from Wood Street, you purchase separate tickets for two or more sectors of the route you wish to travel without affecting your travel options in any way.

 

For example, if you wanted to travel from Wood Street to Birmingham, you would expect to buy a ticket direct from Wood Street to Birmingham. However, you may find it a lot cheaper to buy a ticket from Wood Street to Bordesley, and another from Bordesley to Briton Ferry and still another from Briton Ferry to Birmingham for a much cheaper combined split train ticket price. This is especially true when not all sectors of your journey between Birmingham and Wood Street are during peak time.

 

So, by buying several tickets that in combination make up the whole of your Birmingham to Wood Street rail route, you could massively reduce your travel cost.

 

Use the split train ticket journey planner above to automatically do the hard work for you by searching the entire National Rail fares database for every possible permutation of travel to identify the best of any available split ticketing options for your train journey between Birmingham and Wood Street, and at the times that you select.

 

 

Birmingham Train Stations

 

The city of Birmingham is served by three mainline railway stations, these are:

 

Birmingham New Street, the largest and busiest of the three main railway stations in Birmingham city centre and a central hub of the British railway system. It is a major destination for Avanti West Coast services from London Euston, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley via the West Coast Main Line, the CrossCountry network, and for local and suburban services within the West Midlands, including those on the Cross-City Line between Lichfield Trent Valley, Redditch, and Bromsgrove, and the Chase Line to Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley.

 

The station is named after New Street, which runs parallel to the station, although the station has never had a direct entrance except via the Grand Central shopping centre. Historically, the main entrance to the station was on Stephenson Street, just off New Street. As of 2020, the station has entrances on Stephenson Street, Smallbrook Queensway, Hill Street and Navigation Street.

 

New Street is the sixth busiest railway station in the UK and the busiest outside London, with 47.9 million passenger entries and exits between April 2018 and March 2019. It is also the busiest interchange station outside London, with just over 7 million passengers changing trains at the station annually. In 2018, New Street had a passenger satisfaction rating of 92%, the third highest in the UK.

 

Birmingham Moor Street is another of the three main railway stations in the city centre of Birmingham. Opened in 1909 by the Great Western Railway as a terminus for local trains, and a newer Moor Street station with through platforms, a short distance from the original, which opened in 1987, replacing the original. The two were combined into one station in 2002, when the original was reopened and restored, and the newer station rebuilt in matching style.

 

Moor Street has become more important in recent years; two of the original terminus platforms were reopened in 2010, and the station is now the terminus of many Chiltern Railways services from London Marylebone, as well as being an important stop for local services on the Snow Hill Lines. It is now the second busiest railway station in Birmingham.

 

Birmingham Snow Hill is the third mainline railway station in Birmingham City Centre. Snow Hill was once the main station of the Great Western Railway in Birmingham, and at its height it rivalled New Street station, with competitive services to destinations including London Paddington, Wolverhampton Low Level, Birkenhead Woodside, Wales and South West England. After fifteen years of closure a new Snow Hill station, the present incarnation, was built; it reopened in 1987.

 

Today, most of the trains using Snow Hill are local services on the Snow Hill Lines operated by West Midlands Railway, serving Worcester Shrub Hill, Kidderminster, Stourbridge Junction, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Solihull. The only long-distance service into Snow Hill is to London Marylebone operated by Chiltern Railways, via the Chiltern Main Line.
