If so, what's it like? How hard is it to get to?

Although you dont want to hear from me i went there it's pretty easily to get to and around. I like the little monorail thing that takes you to and from the airport to the train station  |

Plays in midfield and his name is Tommy Miller,
signed him from Huddersfield his name is Tommy Miller,
first touch is average but his second is a killer,

I wanted to get the train there as the station is right by it but the last train from Brum to Oxford on Tuesday is at 9pm :|
I've got my route more or less sorted, it's a doddle to get to Birmingham but is it well signposted once you're in Birmingham? How long did it take you to get out the car park?

Beware SY - its the NEC thats by the station. M40, M42, follow signs for the city and the NIA is pretty well signposted - if you get lost, give me a call! |

It's Birmingham International by the NEC, I believe the NIA is quite near Birmingham New Street? I think I should be alright so long as it's well sign posted once you're near Birmingham.

Driving. Gonna go up to t'M40, then M42, leave at J3(a) and on the A4135 I think straight into the centre. The traffic will be shite I expect.
