    There is no direct connection.

    The easiest one (although not very frequent) is on National Express coaches changing at Coventry

    More frequently you could get the airport bus to Derby and catch a train from there, changing in Birmingham New Street

    There is a train service from East Midlands Parkway to Birmingham International via Leicester but afaik there's no bus to the station, you'd have to get a taxi.
  • depending on your needs though. we always use this company for Airport Transfers. pretty good and have good rates for Minibus taxis they are called BHXtravel. I am a new user so can post links so you will need to do a google search for them. give them a call or email them

    More expensive but another way of doing it, particularly say if there is 4 of you to divide the cost, is look for a promotional code/voucher and do a one way car hire direct from airport to airport. We did this last month with Europcar (but 'they' are all there) on a Hyundai for under £60 so it worked out a £15 each.
