traffic from london to birmingham UK

[gomito#10]

guys i might be in lond on the 21st of next month, was going to catch the fulham
vs arsenal game in london on saturday and was thinking about heading to birmingham to catch them vs chelsea on that following monday. Will traffic be bad heading out of london to birmingham, if we left early in the day? Would we be better off taking a train? Do the trains run all night?

Trains are very expensive between B'ham and London mate. I'd fill up the car with petrol and hit the motorway!

Yea get on the road mate. Much easier and cheaper for you. And if you leave early Sunday morning, say 9ish you should get up there by 12ish :thumbup:

No they're not. I've just checked on nationalrail.co.uk and it's 90 mins from London to Brum, and the chaepest fare is 27.50. And you can drink and eat and walk and wee on the train.....

yeah that sounds much better, is that 27.50 each way, caue then that is kind of expensive, cause that would be almost $120 US... BUT it does seem alot faster, and the train would be cool

Have you been on a train in the UK?

no, is it not cool? i mean is it clean? or is it like riding a Bus in the states?(which is a weird exp that i would never do again)

 

[Chris Davies]

That last one.

I think you should cycle, much cheaper and healthier and you get to see more sights this way.

if you know when you're going, time and date wise.... book 1st class on the train you should get a good deal and looked after on the trip.. you can struggle to get a seat on trains from London
