    <description><![CDATA[Duddeston (originally Vauxhall) station was the first railway station in Birmingham and originally opened in 1837 serving as the temporary Birmingham terminus of the Grand Junction Railway from Warrington. When Curzon Street opened in 1839, the station became goods-only until it was rebuilt in 1869 under the LNWR. It was renamed Vauxhall and Duddeston in 1889, and latterly Duddeston. The station was hit by a bomb during a night bombing raid in 1941 and was completely destroyed. The station was rebuilt in a temporary fashion; however, in the mid-1950s this caught fire and was subsequently rebuilt. The current station is operated by London Midland and is used by trains on the Cross-City and Walsall Lines. On Friday 20 June 2008, Class 170/5 unit no. 170502 passes through the station with the 1412 Birmingham New Street to Stafford (via Walsall) service. Birmingham&#8217;s oldest station and newest train operator together on one photograph!]]></description>
