Good to know when visiting Birmingham International Train Station
If you're planning a trip that takes you across the UK, this station is a good starting point. You can fly into Birmingham Airport and take the AirRail Link straight to the train station if you like.
The train station gets a lot of traffic in large part due to the National Exhibition Centre that's located right next to it. If any trade shows or events are happening there, you can expect a bit more traffic at the station, so keep that in mind when planning your trip. If a major event is happening, it's generally best to arrive at the station a bit earlier than usual, and it's always best to arrive at least 10 minutes before your train is scheduled to leave.
