A very good job Birmingham City Centre has 3 train stations, as 2022 is set to see just a small rise in tourists... Thrilled about this - just hope they clear the rubbish!
Birmingham has been chosen over Liverpool for England's bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has backed the West Midlands city which will now hope to convince the Commonwealth Games Federation it should stage the event.
Canada and Malaysia are among other the countries expected to bid to host the 2022 Games.
Durban was stripped of the event earlier this year.
The South African city originally won the bidding process in 2015 but the Commonwealth Games Federation was not convinced it could successfully host the event and launched a new search for a host city.
Both Birmingham and Liverpool expressed early interest and put together competing bids.
