Had the rare pleasure of a trip to Birmingham today. Owing to Eastern Airways' sky-high fares from Newcastle, had to go on the train, though
.
In the middle of Birmingham, part of a square near the town hall has been turned into a beach in a big advertising stunt for bmi baby. Tons of sand, and rows of deckchairs. However, no-one in sight handing anything out like freebies or even timetables. No information about flights or destinations either. Seemed like a bit of a waste of time/space/marketing budget.
Rotten trains were heaving both ways. Wish there were some loco flights from BHX-NCL.
