New Street Railway Station in Birmingham, West Midlands.
It is the largest and busiest of the three main railway stations serving Birmingham. It is in the city centre and is a central hub of the British railway system. It is a major destination for Virgin Trains services from London Euston, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley via the West Coast Main Line, and the national hub of the Cross-Country network – the most extensive in Britain, with long-distance trains serving destinations from Aberdeen to Penzance. It is also a major hub for local and suburban services within the West Midlands, including those on the Cross-City Line between Lichfield Trent Valley and Redditch and the Chase Line to Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley.
New Street is the eighth busiest railway station in the UK and the busiest outside London, with 32 million passenger entries and exits between April 2012 and March 2013. It is also the busiest interchange station outside London, with over 5.1 million passengers changing trains at the station annually.
The original New Street station was built in the Victorian era and had, when built, the largest single-span arched roof in the world. In the 1960s, the station was completely rebuilt. An enclosed station, with buildings over most of its span and passenger numbers more than twice those it was designed for, the replacement was not popular with its users, having a customer satisfaction rate of only 52% - the joint lowest of any Network Rail major station.
In 2015 a £550m redevelopment of the station named Gateway Plus was completed. The redevelopment included a new concourse, a new exterior facade, and a new entrance on Stephenson Street. New Street also became the terminus of the city-centre extension of the Midland Metro, with a new tram stop on Stephenson Street.

1/76 scale, Code 3, KCB Network Leyland Leopard - Alexander Y Type Bus. Service 56 for Shotts, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. My own work.
The main modelling group I am involved with has held a number of challenges etc throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, as our monthly meetings have obviously been cancelled. The group (Model Bus Scotland) has been a tremendous relief and form of escapism from the relentless bad news, anger and hate in the world.
This weekend (27&28/06/20) the challenge has been to post our favourite models with bodywork from Alexander (now Alexander-Dennis), based in Falkirk. Pictured here is a representation of my favourite - the Alexander Y Type.
It is difficult to put into words what I feel is so special about this particular bus body type. I feel I was very lucky, as I was just of the right age to see them in their final years of operation with Strathtay, KCB Network and finally First Kelvin, before being replaced in favour of low floor easy access vehicles. While I of course believe it is only fair and just that these low floor vehicles are the norm, as they allow easy use of public transport to the disabled and everyone else who would have struggled with step-entry - I do very much miss the memories of standing at a stop and hearing the rumble of an approaching Leopard, before looking up and seeing one of these icons of Scottish public transport trundling towards me.
Of course those days are not entirely gone, thanks to the efforts of those who have preserved a number of Y Types and who run them where possible at events.
Finally, I feel that proof of the enduring greatness of the Alexander Y Type body, is that its outline is still used today as a visual indicator of a bus stop. For me, it is *the* iconic bus type.
This, alongside its sister Y Type Leopard in First Kelvin (later First Greater Glasgow, First in Glasgow), are two of my favourite Code 3 models, as they bring back memories of waiting in Motherwell or Wishaw with my Gran and Papa for the bus back to Shotts, and seeing one of these pull up.
