If you have separate tickets for each part of the journey, or a ticket that allows break of journey, then you can go through the ticket barriers and use the facilities of the shopping centre above the station. Otherwise I recommend that you you change trains by leaving your arrival platform at the west (B) end and spend your time between train in the "Red Lounge" because that way you can get easily to which ever platform you need for your next train. There are plenty of information screens there which will tell you well in advance where your train will be and whether it is on time (they usually are). I have hanged train at New Street many times (my local trains go there) and have never had a problem. I tend to allow twenty minutes, although ten is enough if everything is on time. It's a busy place with people from all over the country (the world, even!) on their way to a huge variety of places as well as local people going to work or shopping etc..Mark at mwtripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503658158339712260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429482469896815050.post-4038063404649568612024-03-05T17:38:33.995+00:002024-03-05T17:38:33.995+00:00will be travelling through birmingham on Aug.31, t...will be travelling through birmingham on Aug.31, this year.
