Indeed it is!   Here in Birmingham the former toilet block at the Rednal
tram terminus, destination for thousands of Sunday daytrippers until the
trmas finished in 1952, was converted a few years ago to become a cafe
and information centre.

It is decorated with some surprisingly informative and accurate panels
chronicling the history of the City - Rednal trams.

And the food's good.

And there's some tram track still in situ alongside.
