Is Birmingham Station easy to get to from the airport. maybe we could swap mobile numbers. A weekend would suit me more than a weekday if it's going to be after the 18th.

Outside M&S Simply food? All you have to do is go through the ticket barriers, bear left and it's round that side?

New St is about 15 mins away from the airport, with trains about every 15 mins at least!

[Meh]

Are most people arriving by train?

[Abbie]

Yep train for me

[Tori]

By foot!

[Meh]

I'll start a poll in March to see how everyone is set

Compact?! It's huge! I think it's the worst 'big' station I've been to, including London ones! (Okay, maybe I just have a dislike of NS!)

Just we need to decide on an end: Victoria Sq side (small entrance, very compact, not many people) or the main concourse... but that can get *very* busy!

Well there's the main concourse where the escalators/steps/lifts down to the platforms are then once you go through the ticket barrier there's the waiting room and drop off entrance to the right and shops to the left. Its not hard to get lost if you say meet under the departure boards or in the waiting room.

I posted a link a few pages back to Birmingham airport train links.

Oh gosh just did a train search to see what it be like if i came. I could get a train for 10hrs which would get me there at 9ish. Or one for 5 hrs that would get me there for half 12. and then last train home is at 4ish in the evening. Will cost around £62.

I don't want to travel on my owwwwwn . Are Kirsty and Dave going? One of them could meet me in Cardiff

Lea, have you looked at prices with a railcard? You save a 1/3 and if you go on the East Coast website you can save even more if you split the tickets.

[CrazyLea]

Now you've confused me How do I get a railcard? And ermmm East Coast? Splitting tickets?????
