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.

I guess that most of us who remember going to the old Lewis's and saying I'm off to Lewis's will be saying exactly the same with the new one,not off to Grand Central.

Who cares what its called as long as the trains run on time.

I wonder how long it will last before they start on a new one.

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.

Hi Dave. I helped on the childrens xmas party with other volunteeers for many years,Jim Singleton who was my gaffer at the time was running the show then....I was at the Met for 25 years and was sad but not surprised to see it eventually close.

Just a note on the old Metro-Cammell club......its going to be demolished very shortly I'm told,had some happy days and nights there many years ago.

Pity they don't demolish what they're putting up now.its ugly.

One big coverup.

Would spend £180 odd million quid building a new business and then decide to shut half of it down...inept lot.

Brums getting good at mystery tours.

If this lot can manage to flog the toilet of in Ward End park,they can do anything.

Paradise lost and souless.

Birmingham must get some good deals on concrete and tarmac.

It certainly looks better in the dark.
