Birmingham New St station transformed into dining hall to give 200 rough-sleepers festive meal


A railway station was transformed into a dining hall on Christmas Eve to allow 200 homeless people to have a festive dinner. 'Every year around about a week before Christmas we start giving out Christmas presents and cards. 'Tonight we are putting on a three-course, sit down Christmas meal and giving out Christmas presents, with one of the managers of Network Rail dressing as Santa. 'I live on the streets and without this I wouldn't have had a Christmas meal, the only way I could have had a hot meal would be by begging on the streets. 'As well as the meal there are some presents that have been donated by the retailers in the station.
