Summary

[edit]
Description
English: New Street Station (east) Pre-electrification of the cross-city line, a southern-bound DMU enters New Street station. Photographed from window of a DMU crossing over several sets of points going in opposite direction north, heading down the 'roller coaster' (I called it), the tunnel downhill that goes underneath Moor Street / Snow Hill lines out toward Proof House Junction.

For those of you who aren't locals, and haven't read the news about developments of New Street, the approaches to New Street station (both west and east) are amongst the busiest in respect of train journeys and points changes, leading to many failures and consequent delays and cancellations.

Because of problems with space and timetable limitations, cross-city trains running south cross the London line at Proof House, whilst c-c trains arriving from Five Ways can only get across to middle platforms and then cross remainder as they leave from east. They are not known to cross at Proof House as this (in past) would prevent other trains arrive / leave.
