6 mins train to Birmingham Airport, NEC, LG Arena - Private Parking
No buses or taxi's needed, direct train line from village to NEC, 6-8 minutes! Balsall Common is 5 minutes drive from the airport and NEC complex. It also has a train station with a direct route to both the NEC and the airport. It takes between 6-8 minutes on the train, meaning you can park on the driveway, walk the 5 mins to the train station and then get a train straight to the NEC, taking away all the hassle of parking there and MORE IMPORTANTLY, getting out after the show!!! If its airport parking and you have suitcases I may even be able to run you down to the train station or pick you up at the end of your holiday if I am around. Other parking options may be closer but when you look at where they are you have to get a bus or taxi to the NEC. When you park here you walk a flat then downhill for 5 mins to our train station and then a 6-8 minute, 2 stop journey straight to the airport/nec. Very easy. Current parking price at the NEC is £8 per show and more for exhibitions. Airport parking is usually around £10 a day. Alternatively if your party is arriving in more than one car for a show or exhibition you can park one car here and drive the 5 mins up to the NEC in a shared car. Last trains back from the NEC / LG Arena are 23.05 and 23.30, leaving you plenty of time to get out of the arena and back here. The NEC / LG Arena has a 11pm curfew in place for concerts and shows. Price is £3 for a day or an evening show. This is a private residential driveway, very safe and sheltered. There is also someone in the house 5 days out of the 7 each week.
