Disappearing trees at Birmingham New Street!
Two trees planted in front of one of Birmingham New Street station's entrances have been removed just two days after the station reopened.
On Sunday the trees were in place partially obscuring one of the innovative Media Eye displays at the entrance underneath the new John Lewis store.
But this morning the trees were nowhere to be seen.
This afternoon Birmingham City Council tweeted ITV News Central reporter Chris Halpin, saying they'd been in touch with Network Rail, who are 'responsible for the trees', and assured him they had been planted elsewhere.
