Engineers have completed the last of more than 2,000 concrete piles that will underpin the foundations of Birmingham's Curzon Street station this week.

And newly published visualisations also illustrate how the public spaces around the building will look.

Stretching for more than 400m between Moor Street station and Millennium Point, Curzon Street is set to include seven platforms covered by an enormous arched roof inspired by the railway architecture of the Victorian age.

At the front of the station, passengers will pass through a paved 'station square' edged by gardens facing Moor Street Queensway.
