Apologies if I've missed something but wasn't construction work scheduled to start last December? Last I ready it's meant to be open by December 2013.

They're still piling £500 million into B'ham New St, not to mention this pointless HS2 bollux !! .................All we want is a fecking platform and some metal stairs.............that might be a bit simplifying it but in the grand scheme of things........

I remember getting up ridiculously early to watch those towers get demolished from my bedroom window. That seems like a whole lifetime ago.

They would also need to install signalling equipment but aside from that, ticket barriers/machines, and a platform, it shouldn't take long to carry out. Though this is the UK, so 'shouldn't' in fact means 'certainly will'.

I remember taking the missus.

Unfortunately I couldn't quite get her close enough.
