The designs for Birmingham New Street station which never left the drawing board
Birmingham New Street station opened this week after a five year, £750 million overhaul, but it's been on the drawing board for even longer, and over the years ITV News Central has covered the design ideas at nearly every twist and turn.
We've been looking into our archives at the images released to us promising a brighter future for the second city's main train station - and judging by some of these - things could've been very different!
All of these designs attempt to cover up the original concrete structure of the 1960s station, to make it a more attractive transport hub for the city.
It seems getting light into the station was also a fundamental element to all of the designs over the years.
These designs from 2008 show how the Pallasades shopping centre could've looked, but today that was consigned to history; thousands at the opening of the new Grand Central shopping centre.

But even some elements of the final design of the station haven't turned out as they first were presented to us.
The footbridge on Navigation Street was meant to be clad in mirrored stainless steel like the rest of the station - but that was removed from the planning application by Network Rail last year.
