West Midlands

I have only spent about two hours on this system, but I found it something of a let down, being very much based around old railway alignments. The ticketing arrangements seemed to be complex, with several of the machines I encountered being out of use. The Birmingham terminus, in the depths of Snow Hill Station did not help. Surely an extension into Birmingham City Centre is a necessity. The pictures were taken using my SLR camera, which at the time contained a film of several years age, and hence the quality is rather poor. All were taken at Wolverhampton.
