Long overdue, the very grotty, in a cutting, Perry Barr station has been rebuilt. I quite like it.....
(these photos were taken before the Commonwealth Games, so pink signs, orange clad volunteers or Perry the Bull do not appear!)
 |
| Revolution at platform level. Clear, relatively wide, 4-car capable platforms in about the same location as the old ones. |
 |
| Fantastic clear customer information display. |
 |
| Not an overly fancy design, in many ways totally functional. |
 |
| Walkway across the tracks (I think the main ticket hall, below, may be closed off at times so this is the main way across the station) |
 |
| Simple ticket hall. Unlike my review of Coventry, where I expected a bit more for a fully staffed city centre station, this type of local station needs simple clear lines, easy to maintain etc.... |
 |
| The external cladding is a rusty orange design. Again I quite like it as a one-off. |
 |
| The small ticket hall has two ticket machines (I forgot to see if they sold a useful range of local tickets) and clear departure screens. |
