298 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hampton-in-Arden is such a nice place too So much so that they keep the riff-raff out by only having selected trains stop there. Not all local trains stop at all the shacks! But there is a pretty reliable clockface timetable with trains every 15 minutes, but then nothing for 45... And the free station carparks fill up even at weekends, so there's no guarantee you'll be able to get a space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice pub there too when we visited a few years ago apres show after deciding Brum Xmas market is way to busy for us. This year we wil be in Tamworth Friday evening and Sutton Coldfield, all by bus from outside the hotel the organisers have booked us in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted November 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2018 I use the NEC station car park. Easy to walk over the bridge to fill the boot with loot.....if there is anything worth a punt that is.Easy access via Coleshill south off the M42 which avoids the bottleneck of that ghastly NEC junction Going to try Sunday this year to see if iit actually is less crowded.....ok if only others are not of similar mind I suppose.

ThaneofFife Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 And if you want to take a taxi home leave the car at Adderley Park. Adderley Park otherwise spelt as S.H.I.T.H.O.L.E Marston Green also good but with Int Motorcycle Show on at the same time you need to be an early bird to get a space.
