[edit] Passenger capacity vs platform capacity

When we talk about "capacity", I think we need to distinguish between passenger capacity and train capacity. As I understand it, the plan is to spend £500million and generate space for not one single extra train in the station. The scheme is solely to improve passenger facilities.

Yes this scheme is to improve passenger facilities and the station's ability to withstand increasing numbers of passengers yet not increasing numbers of trains. - Erebus555 13:49, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Progress

Bit of information: I see that the outline planning application is before Brum CC's planning committee this week (30 November 2006). You can read the report at [1]. DWaterson 20:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
