Review of: New Street Station, Birmingham

2/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 10 Mar 2008

Dark, dingy, congested and cold. Terrible layout, far too many grumpy barrier staff, regular delays, constant last-minute platform changes, poor passenger information, uninformative displays. What more do I need to say? A sad indictment of Britain's commitment to public transport. Badly in need of the planned overhaul. The only saving graces are Marks and Spencers Simply Food on the concourse, plenty of cash machines, and a few tacky but useful shops in the Pallasades upstairs.
