I can now tick off, Birmingham New Street! Well OK, it’s a station that, I’ve used a many times over the years… But from what, I can work out, the last time was, way back in 2004. So, way before the new concourse was build. It’s way better than it was, but still one of my least favourite railway stations in the UK!
