 Dudley Mall - Birmingham to Coventry and London - Rail Services
station lies to the north east of the town centre, and is not quite the station it was in the high tide of railways, but it is still a major station sitting at the junction of the two routes to Stafford (via Birmingham and via the Trent Valley).
The station could be reasonably pleasant, but the shelter glazing is grimly opaque - and while that may be largely due to vandalism, it's still a depressing environment for the great majority of users and really ought to be replaced.
It was almost certainly new or rebuilt in the early 1960s as part of the electrification scheme at that time (though it might have been slightly out of step due to the New Town initiative).

 Dudley Mall - Birmingham New Street
Birmingham New Street, like most large stations, operates its long platforms as two halves, 'a' and 'b'.
Worse, the pressure on the station means that any delays in trains en route to New Street can cause last-minute platform changes announced over the public address system (finally upgraded, thank heaven), and a mad scramble to get to the new departure point against a tide of passengers who just got off the incoming train.
The upper levels of the station are still reasonably modern and ritzy, but the platforms lie in a miserable concrete cave beneath them, with too few seats for the number of passengers often waiting there.
