What sort of improvements are planned at Snow Hill? Could new platforms be built? Any new services?

The 30-year rail strategy recently published by the West Midlands Rail Executive gives a broad steer. (Obviously this includes other lines besides Snow Hill.)

Platform 4 has been confirmed as coming back into use.

Could a platform 0 be built along side platform 1?

Doubt it, you would need to reinstate the bridge over the A38 for a start.

No plans for any other platforms. Platform 4 is definitely needed. With Chiltern taking platform 2 up when anything goes wrong the line grinds to a stop very quickly.

I know there are plans to extend the Chiltern services from Moor Street to Snow Hill. And ready the 30-year strategy there are plans for an Oxford service (semi fast) and upto 8 trains per hour or more on the Snow Hill Lines.
