Chris J. • December 27, 2010The heat in the platform rooms is lovely - be sure to wait inside on cold days!

Daniel • August 15, 2016if your feet are hurting from a day of shopping sit on the abundant seating upstairs and come down to the platform when your train is due, as you will more than likely have to stand on train.

Michael T. • August 9, 2012Get to the platform early to secure a seat.

Kostas • October 23, 2016The lounge is right above the platform so you can breathe in the exhaust fumes...

Elliott B. • September 29, 2019Island platforms. You can see a tram bridge nearby. West Midlands Metro teams have gone blue. James Watt's Mad Machine artwork welcomes you to the tram stop. Not far from the Soho Road.

Thom T. • March 16, 2012If you're getting a virgin train to London, the first class is on the left hand side of the platform and the standard is to the right.

Tom D. • October 24, 2012Appears rather promptly after platform 11

Iván F. • March 29, 2013There's free wi-fi on platforms 3A and 4A.

Simon • August 14, 2014University of Birmingham is the only university in the UK with its own train station. Despite being small (only 2 platforms), is well served by frequent trains running on the line Redditch–Lichfield.

Stephen R. • May 20, 2013Beware the denizens of platform 2, they often prey on the good folk of platform 3 stealing our livestock and turnips!

Dean J. • October 25, 2011Listen to the announcements as they are almost certain to change your train's platform just before it arrives.

Iván F. • February 4, 2014The platform for most University-bound train services.

Jim W. • September 13, 2011It's bloody drafty. Use the waiting room its slightly warmer
