According to West Midlands Combined Authority,  the railway station and bus interchange project partnership consists of Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), the West Midlands Rail Executive, Birmingham City Council, Network Rail and West Midlands Trains.

The TfWM is part of the West Midland Combined Authority (WMCA).

WMCA chair and West Midlands mayor Andy Street said: “This new station at Perry Barr is a great example of what that lasting legacy for our region actually means.

“It is a vast improvement on the old station – better lit, more spacious and equipped with much better facilities including lifts to the platform.”

The project also covered the redevelopment of the bus interchange outside the neighbouring One Stop Shopping Centre, with work expected to conclude ahead of the Commonwealth Games.
