Is it time to get our hopes up once again? Walking past the small row of shops next to Digbeth Coach Station this morning I noticed that two of the shops are being refurbished into one.. this is good news, but look here:
That green sign says: “Free To Use Cashpoint, Coming Soon”
It’s very possible that could actually be a Natwest branch of bank being opened there. Anyway, I hope I am right; I do have a history of getting your hopes up. 
Update: The Shopkeeper has replied to this very post with more information. It sounds very exciting. See here.
The current newsagent which is located a few doors away will be relocating into the new site and converting into a Convenience Store. We will be providing an improved retail offer which will include a Free to Use ATM in conjunction with Nat West – the contract with the supplier is signed and sealed, the machine will be installed in the next two weeks.
Carl and all – I can confirm that the two shops located at 69-70 Digbeth have been converted into one large unit and will be opening on 22nd April 2010.

It won’t be a hole in the wall machine because Birmingham City Council would not provide planning consent but we will have an in store machine.
We have been running the newsagents adjacent to the coach station for over 20 years and finally have the opportunity to provide the local community with a store to be proud off.
I look forward to serving you all in the very near future!
PS. We will have an opening ceremony for the cash machine and I will keep you posted about those plans via this blog.
Digbeth just got better!
