Train, Birmingham: 22 reviews and 11 photos
Birmingham's rail infrastructure is relatively undeveloped compared to other English cities such as Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield or Newcastle.
Whilst the graphics inside local trains make it look as if the West Midland has a metro system, this is not the case.
A number of lines converge on the seventh ring of hell - otherwise known as New Street station. You will always need to consult a timetable (especially at weekends) if you are planning to use the train, and expect delays.
The only exception to this is the 'Midland Metro' that runs between the centre of Birmingham and Wolverhampton (see other tip).
The 'buzz' (Bus) is the true backbone of public transport in the West Midlands.
