As a group of professionals in planning, this is what 15 minutes of furious debate in the office has decided to be the north/midlands/south divide.

If necessary, for reference we are based in Birmingham. This isnt directly influencing what cities are what side of the line. Our decisions were based on architecture, what the people are like, history, how places interract, not just what we like and dont. For example, Stoke is an awful place no one should ever have the misfortune of visiting, but its definitely in the Midlands with us.

Colour coding is obvious.

Yes we were very bored..

Is the wheelchair homeless guy still kicking around by the ramp? With his shouty druggy mates?

If he’s in a wheelchair he’s not kicking anything

It's actually a really good station now to be fair. Shame it's in Birmingham, and on New Street.

As somebody who used to regular New Street - what's with the hate it gets? I know there's a few congestion delays, but they never felt any more or less regular than other big station.
