The project will be carried out in two stages. The first stage will finalise the detailed design of the new station, inspired by the great arched roofs built by the Victorian railway pioneers. It will be developed with sustainable technologies, including capturing rainwater and utilising sustainable power generation, with over 2 800 m2 of solar panels located on platform canopies.
The second stage will involve building the station itself, which will operate with zero carbon emissions. The station is designed to meet a ‘BREEAM excellent’ standard, which is an industry recognised standard for buildings that reduce energy usage and materials waste and minimise their impact on the natural environment. The new station will provide nine high-speed trains per hour, the majority of which to serve destinations in the Midlands and northern England.
In addition, Curzon Street will be served by the Midland Metro light rail network, Sprint rapid transit bus services and local rail services from the neighbouring Moor Street station. Parking for more than 550 bicycles will also be provide
