Trains would reverse for Birmingham and travel into Curzon Street. This gave problems from the start and although it had been planned to run direct through a junction near Stechford this was not proceeded with and permission was sought for a new line via the Tame valley to a new station nearby."@en . . . . .

In 1842 a new line was opened with a new terminus at Lawley Street. This proceeded from a junction at Whitacre with stations at Forge Mills (later remamed Coleshill), Water Orton and Castle Bromwich. In 1851 the Midland Railway once more began to use Curzon Street with a new spur between Landor Street Junction and Derby Junction. Lawley Street then became a goods depot."@en . . .
