perhaps they haven't experienced that event yet (people arriving on bicycles) .... but being 5-star then they should be able to handle it without blinking.... car parking facility is robot lifts/slots - it's only failed a couple of times....

Well I think there are a couple of Tuk Tuk's finally operating in Brum now:.

"In Asia, drivers rely on religious artefacts to protect them from crashes. Mr Ponniah, however, has had to satisfy the requirements of the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, which has tested each tuk-tuk."

55 - if you do bring a horse then don't forget to bring Lady Godiva as well ..... I guess the Senior Revenue Officer on the train would let her travel for free...(unless it's Great Western)?

But Bob Oddy, of the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, said: They can tip over and people can get thrown out".
True .... especially if taking sharp corners at high speed on a wet road ...(personal experience .... although not in Brum).

Are yes saw a news item on that couple of weeks back, looking towards seeing the new one (in a couple of years I think) open. Did you get a chance to pop in to our former venue The Anchor to see if there were any changes?

Only got to the Coach Station itself. Sat inside a couple of the old Midland Red single deckers including one that used to run to Shrewsbury. Also got aboard the very latest large delux coach which is due for the Heathrow route. Young one was in tow so didn't get to any drinking establishments. I've never been in the Anchor before. All the area on south side of Coach Station being demolished - think thats the area that is going to have the 'Digbeth Place' developement of apartments, bars, restaurants and a hotel. Yes, the new coach station should be ready in two years time (on site of the existing one).

Auctioneers believed the interior of a pub being sold in Handsworth, Birmingham, may be worth more than the building.
