The rebuilding of the station in saw the main station buildings and the down platform retained whilst the original up platform was swept away. When opened on 14th March 126 Kings Norton was the start of the quadrupled section of line running through to Barnt Green and in addition the terminus of many trains from New Street via the West Suburban Railway. Consequently the station's platforms were configured so that Camp Hill trains used the platforms on the left and West Suburban trains used the platforms on the right.
