伯明翰新街的乘客被敦促在整个2021年期间检查他们的平台，而主要的信号升级是为了提高未来的旅程。
一个平台封闭卷的滚动程序，于1月开始，因此该国在伦敦境外最繁忙的交汇处的信号设备可以完全大修。
Work started yesterday (Sunday 21 March) on platform 11 meaning it is closed to passengers. Meanwhile platform 12 is back in use.
信令is the complex system which keeps trains moving safely around the network.
伯明翰新街的大多数设备大约54岁，正在达到其工作寿命的结束。
Over the next 18 months state-of-the-art signalling is being installed to provide more reliable journeys for passengers.
由于政府列出的原因需要旅行的人们被敦促意识到信号升级及其影响。
戴夫佩尼网络铁路的中央路线总监戴夫说：亚搏彩票软件官网“虽然大多数乘客将在这个最新的国家锁定期间遵循政府的建议，但是有些人仍然需要使用铁路来上班和必要的医疗任命。
“I want those passengers still relying on the railway for any of the reasons permitted by government to have as smooth a journey as possible while this major signalling upgrade takes place. So, my advice is to always check which platform your train is on as this can change at short notice over the course of the rolling platform closures.
“This once in a generation overhaul of Birmingham New Street’s signalling equipment, at one of Britain’s most important stations, has been carefully planned to minimise disruption. Once complete, the West Midlands will have large areas using the newest and best signalling anywhere in Britain which will help provide a safe, reliable and high performing railway for decades to come.”
根据必要的升级工作，列车可能不会到达或从通常的平台到达或离开。
Train timetables won't be impacted by the resignalling project. However it will affect all of Birmingham New Street's train operators which are:
- 西米德兰兹铁路
- 伦敦西北铁路
- Avanti West Coast
- CrossCountry
- Transport for Wales
Extra staff will be on hand to help passengers during the work and there will be more signs to help people find their way.

亚历克斯华纳，大型铁路合作主席，代表使用伯明翰新街的火车操作员表示：“为乘客提供交付的关键部分是用于培训服务，以可靠，并具有增长能力。现代最先进的信号系统在提供此方面至关重要。
“This investment is vital for the long-term future of the railway in the West Midlands. In the short-term, the most important thing this to manage the impact and the fact no trains will be cancelled is great news for passengers.”
Malcolm Holmes, executive director for West Midlands Rail Executive, said:“伯明翰新街位于西米德兰铁路网络中心，它需要最好的技术来保持乘客和火车安全移动多年。该行业共同努力，在这项工作中运行完整的时间表，最大限度地减少干扰。结果将是该地区更好，更可靠的铁路。“
This is the final piece of a signalling jigsaw which has seen upgrades across the wider West Midlands region since 2005.
The Birmingham New Street upgrade links in with work to modernise the routes to and from the station– including to Bromsgrove, Wolverhampton, Coventry and Tamworth.
Once complete in 2022, £600m will have been invested across the region.
