Check out the awesome 'Coffee Bar & Kitchen' by the entrances to the platforms. Be warned they are a bit slow but worth it!Upvote8DownvoteUpvoted Jan 25
Parking just for the day? Pay your parking when you arrive to avoid the evening queues at the pay stations. Makes for a more pleasant return home.Upvote8Downvote

Anthony ThomasJune 5, 2012Don't forget you can always use the free monorail to the airport for better food and drink choices (Nero, Spoons or M&S food) if you've got a long wait. That or look at the planes !Upvote3Downvote
- Queue is extremely long for tickets this morning. Fast track tickets machines are easy to use but don't forget to press the receipt button!Upvote2Downvote
20 mins free short stay parking, and a short drive into Birmingham rather than the hell which is New Street.UpvoteDownvote- Sam DenningsJuly 8, 2018Very good easy to NEC and arrive upstairs no information pack like map and information areasUpvoteDownvote

Ian VennerNovember 25, 2011The interconnect between the London Euston ans Welsh coast trains are run by different companies so the Holyhead train doesn't wait if the Virgin train is late. :(Upvote1Downvote
Emily WilkinsonDecember 26, 2011There isn't alot here if you're having to wait. Nice, clean station. Easy place to be picked up.Upvote6Downvote- Ritazza coffee shop: Buxton water only £1 with any coffeeUpvoteDownvote

Chioma ChukaOctober 22, 2011Don't cut it too close! Make enough time to print your ticket and get on the train!UpvoteDownvote
The Virgin 1st class lounge never check your ticket. Free drinks, snacks, papers and wifi!Upvote6Downvote- Fearghal O'BraoinOctober 15, 2010If you've got change, use the ticket machine facing the cashiers office. Cheaper than the cashiers on a single ticket into New Street.UpvoteDownvote
There's a photobooth here; just by the Bureau de Change.Upvote1Downvote
Take the Arriva train into Bham New Street. Always quiet.Upvote3Downvote
