What ideas could people provide me when I arrive at the area's main train station? This would include museums, galleries, attractions and so on.

Birmingham is a great place! Make sure you go to the Bullring, the Thinktank, the sealife centre and Brindley Place in the City centre, and Cadbury World in Bournville is great, also if your into history theres sarehole mill in Hall Green
There are also some great parks in Brum; like Cannon Hill, the Likey Hills and Kings Heath! whicha all have regular events staged there.
And if you've any time left the a night out in Broad Street is a must! Its great and make sure you have a curry in Stoney Lane - Sparkhill. The George pub does a great balti and a good pint!
BUT WHATEVER YOU DO! DON'T STAY ON THE TRAIN TO MANCHESTER! you may be shot, mugged or beaten to within an inch of your life!
Unlike amny people say Birmingham has one of the safest city centres in the UK and if you have any problems or get lost there are street wardens to help and of course the police!
Hope you have a good time in this GREAT city!
Pop in for a cuppa at mine if ya like :)

Birmingham museum is one of the finest in the country, there is also a science museum, Cadbury world, Aston Hall, Take no notice of the jealous idiots who slate Birmingham, they probably live in London, and Londoners always think they are the bee's knee's. There are loads of nice places in Birmingham to visit, and if the weather is nice, the Lickey Hills are great for countryside and autumn walks.

avoid broad street at night unless you want to get attacked
try and avoid gangs of kids who will demand a cigarette or "30p for the bus" from you
avoid going upstairs on the buses
avoid anywhere outside the city centre except harbourne and parts of edgbaston
if you find yourself outside the city centre, especially after dark, do not panick, just hop in the first taxi you see and make sure the driver has a meter
i'm sure you will be ok as many people visit birmingham and don't get attacked by chavs or teen gangs but just be cautious.
