I was just looking on Google Maps at the stations around Birmingham, and discovered this surprising revelation.

Curzon Street Station
I know the station is due to reopen if/when HS2 is completed, but as that is not for another 7 years under current plans, does anyone know why the station is marked in this way? :s:s

(Apologies if this has already been spotted, or is not in the right section, a forum search didn't find anything and I was very unsure where this should go.)

I suspect it might be an accidental hangover from the days when it was a parcels depot?

The text/reviews indicate this relates to the remaining historic station building.
