October 21st – The ‘New’ New Street, theoretically and somewhat risibly renamed ‘Grand Central’ wasn’t looking very new mid morning on this very wet autumn day. Leaks dripped through on to the concourse, the steps and platforms were slippery, and at the end of Platform 8 there was little sign of any of the multiple millions this misguided, lousy project has gobbled up with next to no improvement in passenger experience.
It’s about time Birmingham woke up and realised it’s new Emperor is stark bollock naked.
