The national rail web site suggested by Charlie will take you to a rail ticket purchasing site.
As a general rule, trains from London to Snow Hill are slower but cheaper than those arriving at New Street. You can walk up and buy tickets on the day - but they are usually horrendously expensive. You can book your tickets on line and collect them from a machine at the station, using a reference number that has been emailed to you and your debit/credit card. ------ Mary Mooney DEUK "A well-developed sense of humour is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.
