To get to platform 1 & 3 from 2 walk to end of platform and walk across the bridge , leave time the stairs are a killer
I found the accents very strange. I was put off my burger king steakhouse double angus with fries and coke by some chap in a tracksuit saying 'ahroit ah yah? Thart wor mai chayer'
The signs around the station are really confusing but apart from that it's not a bad station
Change trains from the Snow Hill lines to the New Street lines trains . Quicker than changing from Birmingham Moor St to New St!
Don't expect the ticket office to open on time. Despite what it says on Arriva Trains website you can collect tickets from the machine.
Find it on Facebook as Smelly Galton Bridge . (the way it sounds on rail announcements) :-)
Signage is rubbish! Ask if you can't find the platform !
Dingy and quite often smells of urine
To get to platform 1 & 3, walk aimless around, before asking some1 where to go
Just ask... You will get lost!
There is nothing at this station. Maybe the toilet is open if you're lucky
There are few signs here directing you to platforms , best thing to do is run around with no thought and let chaos theory help you
keep checking which platform you are heading for, it's a 3D Maze!

I've travelled to many stations but this place has won Worst Station Ever Award. Loads of stairs, lifts broken, benches suck, waiting rooms locked or smell of piss.
The waiting room on platform 3 stinks of piss, overwhelmingly so, so avoid unless it's Arctic conditions and the platform is unbearably cold
The waiting rooms reik of piss. Just sayin.
The lift smells like Piss
The benches are weird and cold. Not advised for anyone with a bad back.
Too confusing. Try and avoid this station at all costs
