Rogerlehman7 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hey all, I am coming to the UK for the first time, I'm a 23 year old American footballer who has loved the villa for quite a while, haven't missed a match on tv in a few seasons. Just wondering if I should buy rail tickets for this match from London now as they seem pretty expensive. Are there ever buses or carpools organized on here? I'll be traveling with one or two other young American football fans and we would cover all fuel and beer costs. Sorry for my ignorance in regards to how all this works. Any insight would be great as I want to get this figured out asap. Thanks a lot, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If you search for trains from Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street you will get it much cheaper (Moor Street is very close to New Street and Marylebone is on the tube easy from central London) just checked here and you can get train up to Brum for £12.50 in the morning and the train back to London for £5 at 19.09 or 19.45 EDIT or you could get the megabus from London Victoria at 8.30 am for £5 up to Birmingham.

blandy Posted February 22, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2012 It's a 5 minute walk between the two, and you can do exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Plus you get to see the architectural wonder that is Selfridges. Spotted a random album of electronica by some Chicago band last week, they'd decided to use it as the front cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
