About New Street Station Birmingham
One of Britain’s lesser-known travel destinations, Birmingham is actually the country’s second-largest city. This former industrial powerhouse is situated dead center in the English Midlands, and in many ways represents the England not seen in glitzy London or depicted in the media. But as British manufacturing output gradually gave way to finance, tech, and other services, Birmingham has seen a remarkable transformation. While the Victorian buildings remain (in fact they’ve been given a facelift), Birmingham has rapidly modernized into a world-class city that’s honoring its past while looking toward the future.
No place is more emblematic of the city than its primary train station, New Street Station, which is the largest of the three main hubs in Birmingham’s city center. Being in the middle of the country, it’s understandably well-connected to other major metro areas in the UK, and it also offers travelers access to the rest of the city via the West Midlands Metro light rail and tram networks.
New Street Station is a convenient launching point for exploring this sprawling metropolis, and plenty of tourists find themselves needing to store luggage while sightseeing in the area. With the main New Street Birmingham location at Birmingham New Street Station and tons of other luggage storage locations throughout the city, the Bounce luggage storage service is the best option available.
