Redevelopment for New Street Station

Plans for the redevelopment of Birmingham's main station at New Street have been approved. The brand new station is expected to be completed by 2015 giving Britain's second city a rail hub to be proud of. This is great news and I for one am looking forward to passing through a public space that is well designed!
