TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Birmingham Moor Street is one of the finest preserved Edwardian railway stations in the country. With the GWR chocolate and cream colour scheme and original signage, it’s well worth spending a few minutes to soak it all in. One of the UK's most iconic shopping destinations, the Bullring is directly next door to the station with over 160 stores, a wide variety of restaurants, cafés and bars, and the famous bull statue outside. For something more independent, head five minutes down Coventry Street to Digbeth – the Red Brick Market on Allison Street is one of the best vintage and independent markets around. Take a look at the street art on the way."
