Connections
Birmingham Snow Hill and Birmingham Moor Street are connected by a tunnel which is located beneath Birmingham city centre. There are frequent train services between the two stations. Birmingham New Street is not connected to Snow Hill or Moor Street by rail, but is approximately a half mile walk from Snow Hill and a quarter mile walk from Moor Street. Rail passengers connecting between New Street and services on the Snow Hill/Moor Street route are generally advised to make their connection via Moor Street.
There are currently no direct bus connections between the three stations, but expansion plans for Midland Metro City Centre line will see the Metro extended from its current terminus at Snow Hill to a new terminus at New Street, meaning a regular tram connection will exist between the two stations.
Birmingham New street and Moor Street are close to the major shopping centres in the city including The Pallasades, Birmingham Bullring and The Paviilions.
All three stations have a good interchange with bus services mostly operated by Travel West Midlands.

Famous quotes containing the word connections:
“The quickness with which all the “stuff” from childhood can reduce adult siblings to kids again underscores the strong and complex connections between brothers and sisters.... It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled. Our brothers and sisters bring us face to face with our former selves and remind us how intricately bound up we are in each other’s lives.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
“Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
