Network Fail mural mocks controversial Digbeth rail plan in Birmingham

Überblick

A new piece of street art named Network Fail has appeared in Digbeth, Birmingham, mocking controversial plans for a £1.75bn rail upgrade that could lead to the demolition of several buildings and music venues. The mural paints over a 2013 artwork on The Warehouse, which currently houses Friends of the Earth Birmingham and various community groups. While building occupants praised the powerful message against drab developments, Network Rail states the Midlands Rail Hub project aims to relieve rail congestion, create jobs, and boost economic growth.
