Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1783

Looking West along the newly built Platform 12 from the Coventry end of the station whilst a DMU can be seen arriving at Platform 11 on 22nd May 1965. The roof above the platforms will form the floor of the concourse, booking hall, access road and taxi rank, a design feature that entombed the station and created what was too many people a friendless, unwelcome and dirty environment. The light streaming from above illustrates that the new station is still two years away from completion.
