Hi.

I was wondering. I know that the second entrance to Snow Hill Station opened in March last year. As it's not been a year I don't expect figures are out, but does anyone know if it is well used?

I realise that this entrance is onto a quieter part of Brum, which was due for redevelopment at one time (expansion of the financial/legal quarter I heard), but this hasn't happened yet.

Thanks,

GingerSte.

During both the morning and evening peak it's is quite busy, it took a while for people to get used to it being open. Off-peak it isn't really used that much in all honesty, just the odd few people trickling through.

Obviously had the plans for the Birmingham Coach Station being built on the site of the council car-park opposite gone ahead it would be heavily used, but personally I think it's just been a waste of money and resources :(

I have seen it used a lot but I have had more compaints about it being closed than good comments about it being open

I imagine it's well used by those working that side of the Queensway in the St Pauls area as it's a rather long detour through a subway or over a bridge otherwise.
