Commute between Birmingham Centre and Airport
I will be spending a weekend in June next year (Thursday to Sunday) in Birmingham. I will most likely sleep in some cheap place in the city but I will spend days at National Exhibition Centre which is close to the airport. Because of this I will commute using train between New Street and Airport railway stations every day (probably from airport to city on Thursday and then city -> airport in the morning, airport -> city in the evening on following 3 days).
What is the most cost-effective way of doing this?
Best Answer
For Train times, information and pricing, see National Rail Enquiries.
For the duration of time you'll be doing this, and the fact that you may be able to travel at off-peak times, it's unlikely that a season ticket would make any sense. There may be group rates available, just put in the number of travellers when searching on national rail. It's also possible to get a railcard, however, for such a short journey, it's unlikely to be worth it unless you plan to make further use of rail travel in the UK this year.

Answer 2
Well, you could walk it. It is only 7-8 miles.. so not exactly tough. Brisk walk would get you there in under 2 hours.
But, just get the train. It's like £3-4 each way and takes about 15 mins... That's pretty crazy cheap.
