Hi, There used to be an old steam train kept at platform 5 at Birmingham Moor Street. The other day I happened to notice that it's gone now. Does anyone know what this train was and where it's gone? Log in to reply |

Ahh okay, thanks. Do you happen to know why it was moved, or why it was left there to start with?

I think it was put there as part of the station's renovation project in 2002. Why was it removed? Not sure. Platforms 3 and 4 have been reconnected to the network but I don't think platform 5 (where the loco sat) has been reconnected. Maybe there are future plans to reconnect and it needed moved.

Loco was sold I believe, think it was craned out some time last year.
