Hi Guido, The following website shows the time table for coaches to birmingham from heathrow.
http://www.nationalexpress.com/bp/b2.cfm?id=238837856 This will be by far your cheapest option, with a travel time of 2: 30hrs. Saves you having to travel into London, it can work out quicker too, as you won't have to wait for your connections etc. Bhima ------------------------- Bhima A van der Molen PhD Research Student CSB School of Biosciences University of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham B16 9HY United Kingdom e-mail: bav...@bham.ac.uk ----- Reply message ----- From: "Guido van Rossum" <gu...@google.com> Date: Tue, Jul 13, 2010 09:05 Subject: [EuroPython] Train from London Heathrow to Birmingham this Saturday To: "europython@python.org" <europython@python.org> Is there anyone who can give me hint on how to travel from London Heathrow (terminal 5) to Birmingham? I'll be arriving there Saturday around noon. I tend to travel pretty casual so if it's as easy as "catch the Heathrow express to X, then the underground to Y, then there are trains to Birmingham station Z every N minutes (change trains in P, Q and R)" that should be sufficient. I'm assuming I can just show up at the station and buy tickets, it doesn't look such a big distance (plus I don't have a printer here). From the map at http://www.europython.eu/about/maps/ it looks like the value of Z is Snow Hill Rail? Walking to the hotel seems no problem. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ EuroPython 2010 - Birmingham, 17-24 July 2010 - http://www.europython2010.eu EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython _______________________________________________ EuroPython 2010 - Birmingham, 17-24 July 2010 - http://www.europython2010.eu EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
