Fundamentally unacceptable. Local leaders should be saying as much and in the interim planning our West Midlands S-bahn network to be operable from day one.
HS2 trains could be serving London Euston by 2043, with trains running between Old Oak Common and Curzon Street from 2036. Meanwhile, tracklaying should start between the West London station and the Midlands from April 2030 says HS2 Ltd CEO Mark Wild

What’s going on in New Street Station? The exoskeleton of the roof is exposed. I must say, I do like the industrial look, especially against the Ozzy Bull.

I think if a limited corner of the South West can call itself Wessex the West Midlands Combined Authority could legitimately rebrand as Mercia
@WestMidRailway is there any way this can be chased up with the landscaping contractors for the Camp Hill line stations?
There’s also a similarly vandalised tree on the south east corner of the forecourt at Moseley Village that’s been untouched for several months.

Callum Turner: No personality on-screen. Nothing interesting about him IRL (other than being Mr. Dua Lipa)
Josh O'Connor: The best actor of the lot, but too nerdy. No aura.
Jack Lowden: Perfect, other than the baggage of having played the most failson spy on TV for six seasons.
At least four test offers for the role to play James Bond have been given out and while unconfirmed, insiders tell Deadline that three of the four actors expected to test are Jack Lowden, Callum Turner and Josh O’Connor.
