    This taxi rank is one of the best to go to after a hard night out in Kings Heath. I hate being in…read morethat situation where I am too tired to walk home and I end up wondering the unfriendly night streets. I've been lost before and it isn't a lot of fun, but with this rank I know I can get anywhere I want by just coming here. It saves making a phone call to an already busy taxi company or desperately trying to flag down a speeding black cab in the street. The rank and headquarters of the Kings Heath branch is about a two minute walk from the Hare & Hounds, and The Station is equidistant in reach. The staff are always helpful and I am never made to wait more than five minutes at most for a taxi. I usually get one straight away.

When I call they address me as 'Mr. Harrison' every time, which makes me feel as though I am some high-calibre CEO, when the stark reality is I am (normally) a drunk, young man who needs a lift home - or a fairly sober, young man who needs to accompany his drunk friends home. Most of the drivers come prepared with a good sense of humour in expectation of incoherent drunk-talk about money, societal taboos or the meaning and absurdity of life. When you arrive at your destination and it comes to the practical things of life - money - they have a very fair method of opening a haggle with you, where you both come to a point of satisfaction with the sum changing hands. The taxi ride is an interesting phenomenon and Ambassador's are regularly and by far the most interesting I've had.

    If you don't fancy catching the train, then you have the option of getting on a coach. Birmingham…read moreCoach Station is just a five-minute walk from the City Centre and is easily accessible by car and public transport. I have been here whenever I have travelled to Leicester and London. The coaches are regularly on time and I have not had any issues with this place. If you are waiting for your coach, you can always grab a coffee at Starbucks or you can even go to WHS Smith to buy a newspaper/magazine or even some sweets. The one downer is the fact you have to pay to use the toilets. I just find that ridiculous. But there is a toilet on the coach if that is any consolation. From here you can get on coaches that will take you to cities across England, Scotland and Wales. National Express, Ulsterbus and Eurolines are the three operators that operate at this coach station. And I have also found it is a lot cheaper to travel by coach than train. It is not that expensive to travel by coach. The staff here are very friendly and they will answer any questions/queries you have. An excellent station in my view and one I will continue to visit.

    The sign that greets you says 'a hundred thousand welcomes'* and on the other side of the coach…read morestation is probably my favourite bit of public art EVER - a big graffiti style mural that reads 'welcome to Digbeth bab'. This is in marked contrast to the welcome you used to receive at Birmingham Coach Station which generally consisted of stumbling around in a dimly lit car-park, narrowly missing being run over by a bus, hassled for money by men who smelt a bit funny and stepping over the pools of vomit outside the Dubliner. I've known loads of people who when they've heard I'm from Birmingham get a funny look in their eye simply because of their experiences of arriving by coach. Anyway it's all changed - the old building was torn down in 2007 and the new building officially reopened in 2009 by (bizarrely) Fabio Capello. It's a different beast all together - the space is light and airy and the signs actually make sense. You can hear the announcements. The toilets are okay. And there's a Starbucks. * In Irish this is "C'ead Mile Failte" so the sign is obviously a nod to the Irish history of the region. Step into any of the pubs round Digbeth and you're likely to see these words over the bar.
