By air: Birmingham International Airport (BHX) has been one of the UK’s most important facilities for a number of years, and serves as the main air hub for the Midlands area. Regularly-scheduled flights arrive from originating points worldwide, including Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia. The airport facility is modern and provides a full range of services and amenities for passengers. Excellent transportation options connect the airport with the city of Birmingham and other regional destinations. By train, the city is only 10-15 minutes away; and you’ll find plenty of buses and taxis servicing the route as well. Trains arrive from London throughout the day, with the journey taking only 1 hour, 30 minutes; and service from the international airport to Birmingham’s New Street station runs frequently, also throughout the day. By bus: Birmingham’s coach station is one of the busiest in the UK, as the city is the hub of the nation’s coach network, which connects hundreds of destinations. If cost is a consideration, you’ll find that travelling to Birmingham by coach is more reasonably priced than travelling by train. The main station’s location is Spencer House, central Dugbeth. The M5’s approach is from the south-west; the M40’s approach is from the south-east; and the M42 comes in from the north-east. The Gravelly Hill Interchange, also known as the ‘M6 Spaghetti Junction’, is the junction point for these motorways. You’ll find that there can be considerable traffic congestion in and out of the city, particularly at peak times: 07:30-10:00 and 16:00-18:00. |
