                                                                     You're at  RAIL - BIRMINGHAM INTERNATIONAL STATION  page.     
BIRMINGHAM INTERNATIONAL RAIL is well connected for some. And a DIRECT bus.
This : sub-page 5) - Route to Elmdon Heath CC from BIRMINGHAM INTERNATIONAL RAIL
These cool contras have a new Route X12 every 30mins Sun bus to the Hall door.
Timetable/stops HERE: X12 to the stop outside the Hall from B'HAM INTERNATIONAL.
To the Hall door every HALF HOUR. Cross road : wait at NEC stop SB (locate it). CHECK NEW TIMES !
Less need now to carry a taxi fare just in case you miss the [14:05] bus.
12 min direct ride. Greville Arms is seen across from recessed stop

outside the Hall - named : opp Damson La   :    See what the Hall looks like HERE !

NB there's now NO 966 bus at all. This below now needs to be updated !
Please CHECK the BUS TIMES for yourself HERE  You will need to click dot for 1) "Sunday" / "Inbound"  then 2) Green "All Stops".
Carry a smartphone ? Note text for the stop, you can be more certain of the Bus's arrival time. 
CHECK X12 BUS  Times: X12
 A 12 minute bus ride puts you at the hall. Prepare to alight opposite to the Greville Arms.
Check stop 5B at the station : look out a bit early.  Half hour wait if X12 bus is missed. Alternatives : an unpleasant & long walk or taxi.
SATELLITE VIEW - of bus stop outside the hall - opposite the Greville Arms named " CORNYX LANE opp Damson Lane" HERE : gmap.
Cycling to and from the hall using Birmingham International Station is probably better left only to keen and regular road cyclists. Fast-traffic and major intersections intervene.
