Note for future conferences - to add these and other
transport/living-related gems onto the conference site somewhere?

Zeth,
thank you for this valuable information. Additional request, maybe you have
this information available:
- WHERE do I buy tickets for the train?
>From the station on the day. Or you can buy them in advance see
http://nationalrail.co.uk/ for rail times and ticket costs.
The rate you pay for British train tickets is notoriously over-complex
compared to some countries. There are advance fairs, off-peak fairs,
concession fairs and so on. If unsure at a station, get the automatic
ticket machine to give you a price and also go to a manned booth and
ask for the price, you sometimes get different results.
- can I pay per credit card / mastercard or do they accept Euro?
Most European Visa branded cars tend to work in the UK, Mastercard
mostly also. No one will take Euros sadly.
(if not: is there a normal-priced ATM available at Birmingham
International?
ATMs in England legally have to say if they charge a withdrawal charge
for taking out money (over your normal bank's settlement fees). If it
says "this machine costs X to withdraw money" then walk to the next
machine, there are loads everywhere.
