[size=1]The nearest station is Bordesley, which is about a ten minute walk away from the ground, but is only served by trains from Birmingham Snow Hill[/size][size=1] and Birmingham Moor Street. Normally scheduled trains do not stop at Bordesley, so they don't show up on national timetables searches. Please download the local timetable from the [url=http://londonmidland.go-cms.co.uk/app/webroot/files/cache/LM08D_BOOK10_WEB_T1.pdf]London Midland website for details.[/size]

[size=1]If you arrive at New St[/size][size=1]reet[/size][size=1] Station in the city centre, either walk to Moor Street station (five minutes) take a taxi (about £6) or embark on the 20-25 minute walk to the ground. [/size]

[size=1] [/size]

[size=1]As you come onto the concourse of New St station, bear to the left of the escalators and through the glass doors. Walk down towards to the end of the Station Service Road. Cross to the other side of the road at the bottom (where there is a new shopping centre) turn right and follow the purple pedestrian signs for Digbeth Coach Station. These will see you descending a flight of stairs at the side of the shopping centre on your left and then going down a road with the Markets on your right and a large church on your left. Follow this road around to the right and then take the next left to take you up to the main dual carriage way. Turn right along the dual carriageway, passing the impressive looking Crown Pub on your left. Cross over the dual carriageway to the Crown pub side of the road and continue walking away from the City Centre. You will come to a fork in the road where you want to bear left going underneath a railway bridge. Passing the Clements Arms on your left just continue straight down this road, crossing a large roundabout (with a McDonalds over on one corner). The entrance to the away section is further up the road on your left.[/size]

[size=1]Otherwise you can take the following buses from the city centre[/size][size=1];[/size][size=1] [/size][size=1]57A, [/size][size=1]58 & 60.

I was thinking of going to Birmingham, which train station should I get off in Birmingham to get to the ground?

If you want one i'm sure you can get one - just stand outside New Street station flashing the left sleeve of your Stone Island jacket trying to look hard and you'll soon get the attention of the Polizei.

Dunno why you would get into one on purpose though and easy enough to avoid given you could get in to Brum at a number of stations
