The Cheapest way to (safely!) get from Birmingham International Station to the TechNet/MSDN Roadshow
The following advice was provided as a comment to my earlier post - it's so useful I want to raise it's profile hence posting this:
Steve, some general info for when people arrive at Birmingham International Station.
Taxi fare to Motorcycle Museum is about £6 !! so if people buddied up into 4's or 5's, it makes sense, as it is more economical and there are only about half a dozen taxi's ( black cab's ) permanently stationed at B'ham International ( no pun intended ).
Walking to the Museum from the Station is a no, no really, as you have to cross "or try to cross" 3 sliproads to the M6 and some parts of the route have NO pavement.
For the real Cheapskates !!.
When you get on the concourse at B'ham International, jump on the monorail ( it's free ) to B'ham airport ( journey time 2 mins ) exit the airport and find the bus stop for the Travel West Midlands Bus # 900 going to Coventry NOT heading to Birmingham

Tell the driver you need to get off at Motorcycle museum and he'll tell you when you reach the stop ( journey time 13 minutes ) price £1.20p
