Jewellery Quarter station is a combinedrailway station andtram stop, situated in theJewellery Quarter ofBirmingham, England. The station is served byWest Midlands Trains (who operate the station),Chiltern Railways, andWest Midlands Metro.
The station is set at the mouth ofHockley No 2 Tunnel below the elevation of its road-level access point on Vyse Street; stairs and a lift are provided.
Jewellery Quarter station was opened on 24 September 1995, as part of the "Jewellery Line" project which saw the re-introduction of cross-city services viaBirmingham Snow Hill. Midland Metro services commenced in 1999, when its first (and so far only) line from Birmingham toWolverhampton opened.[2]
No previous station had existed at this site, however the area was historically served byHockley station, located a short distance west, which had been opened by theGreat Western Railway in 1854, and was closed with the line in 1972.[2]
The station has no car park, but ten cycle storage spaces are available.[3] The station has a ticket office, but this has limited opening hours; a self-service ticket machine is provided for use when the ticket hall is closed and for collecting pre-paid tickets. Train running information is offered via automated announcements, CIS displays, timetable posters and customer help points on each side.
Outside the station entrance on Vyse Street is a sculpture called "Clockwork" byMark Renn, which dates from 2004. There is also aVictoriancast iron public urinal, dating from around 1880, which is now disused but isgrade II listed.[4]
