Well, no train from Birmingham calls at both Foregate Street and Shrub Hill (although there's the two-hourly FGW service which calls at both). Foregate Street station is in the city centre which I'd recommend exploring since there's lots to see. However, you'll probably cop more units at Shrub Hill since there are carriage sidings there.

Surely the timetables will tell you that?

Neither station gets ALL the services as some visit both, whilst most only visit one depending on destination.

There are definately more than a few trains that call at both stations from Birmingham. Shrub Hill is probably the more architecturally interesting, but also by far the more decrepit.
