no seriously, it looks like the most cost effective way is to fly to one of the London airports, and drive up to Birmingham.
You get a nice drive around the M25 (the world's biggest parking lot) but once you start headed away from the city, it's a nice drive.
The train idea also sounds promising, however be warned, English trains ain't the fastes things on the planet...
Still it's more comfortable than being jammed into the back of a small rental car...!

you'll be lucky!!!
if you go from london euston (train station) you can get straight through to the nec usually about 1 hour 45mins to 2hours.
May have half of my team jumping on it from half way up the line but other then that should be a nice quiet journey
probably send 1 or 2 with the kit and tents in the car.... sorted!!
u can get "family" train tickets (group) cost a f**k load less

It ain't fun.....and often mentally challenging when trying to re-calculate your route depending on which lines are bust.....but it's a great physical workout. No need for warmup when I finally get there

Seriously though, did they not move Toulouse World Cup to Paris for just this reason. I had read something about major airports and cost effectiveness. If you're looking for me I've already left =>

But birmingham international airport is pretty major and is in the same complex as the NEC. How much closer to a major airport can you get?
You don't seem to care much about your head being attached to your shoulders do you Mr Hancock....
