Birmingham New Street

Last update: 20th April 2010

I'll say it plainly - Birmingham New Street is a shithole. It's dank, dark, cold and uncomfortable. It's also unfortunately one of the hubs of Britain's railways, and the place you have to go through if you want to cross from the south-west to the north, or south-east to north-west. It would be good for trainspotting, as such a central location, if it weren't for the darkness and inability to see up the line in either direction due to tunnels. On the upside, it does have a good muffin shop. I rarely feel compelled to wait around there when on a trip somewhere, I just want to get out of there and on to somewhere nicer.
