To intensely dislike Birmingham New Street station

[StealthPolarBear]

The train I am on is stopping there because its running too late and its all change. I know (because I did it on the way down) that I will lug my bag down to the platform I am currently told the next train departs from, only to find with a few minutes to spare that the platform has altered. I will race up to the top, try to get from one side of the station to the other which as far as I can tell is near impossible, clatter down to the new platform with my big bag and cram myself on a train where I will no doubt not get a seat.
Great fun.

It's not great to get around. Barriers in the way forcing you to walk the long way round. Clearly not designed with passengers in mind.

Leeds is my station. It's lovely, it's small for a mainline station. The platforms aren't hard to find at all. 8 and above to your left afer going through the barriers and 7 and below to your right.

Yeah, Platform 10 is really easy to find (nope). And one of the d platforms (12d possby) is basically hidden behind a wall.
