Chiltern Railways: London Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street trains

By Jay Harlow | Updated May 20, 2026

The direct train from London Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street is operated by Chiltern Railways and takes around 1 hour 30 minutes.

It's a pleasant route that goes through the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and past pretty villages in the Warwickshire countryside. You'll see rolling hills, ancient woodland and the occasional big town, too.

Chiltern Railways connects London Marylebone with Birmingham and the West Midlands. They're known for running modern trains with free Wi-Fi and normally serve commuters who work in London.

Departing from London Marylebone

London Marylebone is tucked away north of Baker Street and just a few blocks from Regent's Park. You can walk to the station in 5 minutes from Baker Street tube station, or stay on the Bakerloo line direct to Marylebone underground station. Countless buses stop nearby and there's also a taxi rank outside if you're carrying heavy bags.

The main operator at the station is Chiltern Railway and there are trains to Birmingham, Oxford and Aylesbury. You'll also find some services to Stratford-upon-Avon and Kidderminster. It's much quieter than the big London terminals, so you can expect a more relaxed start to your journey.

Main stops

The direct trains stop at High Wycombe, Bicester North, Banbury, Leamington Spa and Warwick before reaching Birmingham Moor Street.

Arriving at Birmingham Moor Street

Birmingham Moor Street is on the edge of the city centre, next to the Bullring shopping centre. When you step out of the station, you're literally a 2-minute walk from the shops and restaurants.

For onward connections, Birmingham New Street - the city’s biggest station - is around 10-minutes away via a mostly covered walkway. If you need to get around town, local buses stop outside, or it's a pleasant 15-minute walk to most central attractions.
From here, Chiltern Railways runs services back to London and regional trains to Stratford-upon-Avon and Worcester. CrossCountry also operates services heading to Leicester, Cambridge and Stansted Airport

Chiltern Railways train classes

There's no premium carriage on Chiltern Railways, but that doesn't mean you won't have a nice experience. You'll get comfortable seats arranged in a 2+2 layout that are mostly lined up with the windows for better views. Trains have free Wi-Fi and there are plug sockets at most seats, so you can charge your phone on the way to Birmingham.

Chiltern Railways train travel advice

Here's what you need to know when travelling with Chiltern Railways:

  • Luggage: You can bring what you can carry, but be sensible about it. Store bags in the overhead racks or at the ends of carriages - they mustn't obstruct walkways or exits.
  • Bicycles: Bikes are welcome at weekends, on public holidays and during off-peak times on weekdays. You can't bring a bike on trains arriving into London between 07:45-10:00 or leaving London between 16:30-19:30, Monday to Friday.
  • Children: Kids under 5 travel free and ages 5-15 get half-price tickets. Once they hit 16, they need to pay adult fare unless they've got a 16-17 Saver Railcard which gives them 50% off.
  • Pets: You can bring up to 2 pets per person at no extra cost. Four-legged passengers need to be on leads or in carriers. Don't let them sit on the seats, either - they need to stay on the floor at all times.
  • Passenger Assistance: If you need help getting on or off the train, finding your seat or any other assistance, book support in advance through the nationwide Passenger Assistance app or website. 
*Information is subject to change. Please check the latest train timetable before your trip.
