NEC Birmingham, street parking ?

davethetaller

Hi all

Going to the Housebuilding show at the NEC later this month, and as a free bus pass holder, wondered if I can park out of town, and bus it in.

Do the busses run there on a regular basis, or is there a better way ?

Any streets or areas most suitable, would be welcomed.

Thanks in anticipation.

having lived in the area for many years ( althought i dont now tho ) i wouldnt leave your car in the street as it is likely to be stolen or worse damaged there are carparks in the city centre near the bus station wheather these will be cheaper than the nec car park i do not know but usually its only about 7-9 £ for the day any wya at the nec so maybe better to leave yuour car in that car park

I used this when I stayed in a hotel near the city centre. Easier than driving. The bus drops you off at the station and it is a short undercover walk to the NEC. You can wait in the warm for the bus back. Parked in the street and the car wasn't stolen!
