I was interested to read that Aston station is utilised more than Witton station on match days:"More fans currently use Aston Station (65%) compared to Witton Station (35%), so we will be looking at how to better manage usage, queuing, and access to train services"Can anyone local shed any light on why this might be the case? Is it just access to the Cross City Line?
Quote from: London Villan on June 29, 2022, 12:58:46 PMCouple of musings about Villa Live...Will it be a big enough attraction to drag people to what is a scruffy/unloved part of Birmingham? With football rivalries being what they are, will it exclude a big proportion of the population who wouldn't want to visit the home of another club on a non-matchday.It's low down the list of priorities but I can't see many people not wanting to see a band because of where the gig is.

Is it just access to the Cross City Line?I'd guess there's a couple of reasons.First, you have the cross city trains towards Lichfield & Redditch going from there. As a byproduct of that, it'll also have a more frequent service than Witton.
Like others, I can't help thinking the Villa Live building looks too small.I'm also wondering what the future will be for the Holte Hotel with all this going on. It'll be a bit out on it own with all these redevelopments. Maybe it could be repurposed as a hotel.And on the anagram theme, I just noticed that Holte is an anagram of hotel.
Only now? Come on Chris, aren't you a Wordle guru like the rest of them?
I can’t see it will change much, that and the Holte Suite will still be needed at that end of the ground, this new facility won’t everyone in.
Let’s hope they crack the staffing/serving issues whilst they’re at it...
