University rail station has been delayed a third time over inflationary pressures, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) has learned.
The station, close to the University of Birmingham and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital – first scheduled to open in July 2022 during the Commonwealth Games – was delayed to allow for extended platforms to be completed.
The LDRS reported the station itself would open in Spring 2023 after a leaked briefing. A new memo seen by the LDRS now reveals the building will open in Autumn 2023 – a delay of up to 15 months.
