COACH STATION




this picture is Birmingham coach station, it was taken by Nikon camera. The National Express coach station is located in Digbeth in Birmingham city centre. there is WHSmith in side so you can buy sweets, drink, sandwich or newspaper. The original interchange was built on the site by Midland red in 1929 to be used as a bus depot. This was later converted in to Digbeth Coach Station. The original building was dark and dingy as it was not originally intended to serve passengers as a coach interchange.
Plans were initially developed for a new coach station on Great Charles Street, as Digbeth was considered by National Express to be an "undesirable" location. However, after the completion of the new bullring and the planned Eastside  redevelopment, it was decided to demolish the old structure and build a new coach station on the same site.
