Yeah Drayton Manor, Whats the transport links like? is it a taxi job?

I don't know I am not local but looking on google maps you can get a bus or train


have a look and see what options are available , taxi would probably be best option but will be expensive

Why not look at the Drayton Manor website? It gives full details of how to get there, the 110 bus operates every 15 minutes from Birmingham, it tells you the nearest railway stations and even lists Taxi companies.........

I have been but was hoping for some local knowledge and advice, and even some feedback from people who have been, and is the bus from the airport?

You might do better by asking/searching in the UK Holidays or Days Out forums - This is really the forum for asking about non-uk destinations.

I took the 4 year old granddaughter a year or two ago and we had a marvellous time.
Also if you look at forums like mums net you will see (I think) that it is generally thought of positively. Drayton manor is great in General and the attached campsite run by one of the camping clubs is walking distance and quite nice.
Enjoy, we would definitely go again.:)

I also really like Drayton Manor, but its not a large theme park, and Thomas Land is one small corner of it.
