    NewSt Station 2015

    I only use New Street station.I don't shop in the city centre,its become a faceless dumping ground of glass and steel and boring design,they don't know what bricks and mortar is,they ought to be concentrating on the run down suburbs where the real problems lie.

    Most travellers like meself just want decent trains and punctality and a safe journey,they are not bothered about white painted ceilings which are going to get dirty by diesel fumes.
