That got on my nerves yesterday!

I love New Street!!

It's one of my favourite stations!

Is that supposed to be funny? It's an absolute dive. There's one reprieve to New St, that is is one of the only stations I know to retain it's original maroon London Midland 1960s neon lights- stating that you are at 'Birmingham New Street' - It was a shame when Crewe got rid of them* . The only other good thing is the Way Out sign . But seriously, I don't really have any problems with Birmingham as a place, it's just New Street is a depressing place to arrive at. It's more like a multi-story car park than a station


* (Of note, Crewe's were removed when it was "refurbished" in around 2005, Grantham still has them, though modern versions in black, Teignmouth also has them in WR brown, and a very unusual survivor is the sole one at Markinch station- in ScR blue!)

Why, did you want to win them both?

I think I voted for STP for the nominations in the
I picked Manchester Piccadilly for the voting though
I, thinking about it now, would of recomended Grantham, it's a lovely station, the staff are very friendly too.

Did I even say that, No :roll:

there used to be a third one which only a few people (including myself) know about as it was fully deleted. That was a fun evening do people remember, where we were discussing the problems associated with congestion on the patio and the need to fit people with RETB equipment?

Ah, BVE BBQ. Class. Wished that could've gone ahead.

 

[P156KWJ]

the hotdogs'll be burnt by now

 

[laseandre]

And the trains outdated.

We should do another one, but more as a meet. Go to one of those MoD store sites, get some petrol, pour it all over the stock, through a match on it, then cook them from the entrance :P :P

Yes, because that could be fun...

Yeah... and after that we could go to your house, get some petrol, pour it all over the place, throw (not through) a match on it, then cook the remainder of our supplies from the garden :roll:

 

[BJMorley]

Sorry, one of my insane moments...

 

[Jordy]

Hmm.....

Anyway, I think this thread has lost all meaning so I shall lock it.
