Except I can't actually see where you would build an underground line to that would be worth spending the money on.

The putting a couple of extra platforms underneath New Street for the cross city line, which is the plan @Isle of Stroma mentioned would be useful for extra capacity at New Street, but the only two other corridors out of Birmingham that would justify a new railway are Harborne & Chelmsley Wood. Chelmsley could be served by far cheaper by building a branch line off the Derby line near the old Castle Bromwich Station with stations serving Bromford and Castle Vale. If you built the extra underground platforms at New Street for the cross city, that would also allow for a short underground section to Harborne & Bartley Green.

The underground Platforms at New Street idea has been around since i was at NS back in 1990, there have been many different suggestions made but as yet nothing concrete, but, bare in mind there is a network of old Post Office tunnels beneath NS (ive seen some of them) so you would have to go very deep to get beneath them, plus there are staff only levels beneath NS aswell, then there is the Hotels that have upto 4 floors beneath ground level, i dont think it will happen in my lifetime anyway
