The growth of Britain's railway network in the 1800's demanded that a station be built in Birmingham by the Great Western Railway Co. on the main line from Paddington Station (London) to Wolverhampton Low Level.
In 1852 Livery Street Station was first opened for passenger traffic, and was renamed in 1858 as Snow Hill Station.
During the 1900's the station was reconstructed and opened in its final appearance in 1912.
The West Coast Main Line was to be the preferred route in and out of London resulting from the Beeching report. As a consequence Snow Hill only remained open during the West Coast Main Line upgrade and electrification, and was then closed in the 1970's. The tunnel leading to Snow Hill was closed in 1967.
However there has been a resurgence in rail travel and Chiltern Railways now run a very good alternative service from Birmingham Moor Steet and Birmingham Snow Hill to London Marylebone. British Railways rebuilt the present Snow Hill station in 1980 and traffic to London commenced in 1993. The station is shared by the Midland Metro.

The old booking all, minus its roof!

The Snow Hill tunnel is of cut and cover construction with many business and other commercial buildings in use on top.
