Afternoon Play: The Angel of New Street

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Liz John, Helen Kelly and Carolyn Scott-Jeffs.

Birmingham New Street is one of the country's busiest railway stations, at the heart of the network in Britain's second largest city. In this impressionistic take on a day in the life of the station, recorded on location, three Birmingham-based writers examine moments in the life of three groups of people. On his retirement day, Madhav, the station's information officer, revisits the birthplace of the railway in Birmingham to take on a new role as an avenging angel.
