As both of the MR lines approached New Street from the east, this meant that through trains between Derby and Bristol had to undertake an inconvenient reversal if calling there and so many services were instead routed directly to/from Camp Hill, calling there to allow New Street-bound passengers to catch a connecting local train. This practice continued until the Birmingham West Suburban Railway was extended through to New Street in 1885 - thereafter long distance trains were able to run through New Street and directly on towards Kings Norton & Cheltenham via this route without having to reverse.
