The NEC is served by Birmingham International station, connected by a covered bridgelink. London is only 90 minutes away and trains also run direct from many regional towns and cities.

You need to make sure that you have confirmation that you are attending an event at the NEC with you when you are travelling (as the conductor may ask you for this on the train). So, please make sure you have your exhibitor/visitor passes or email confirmation with you.

You can book your train tickets up to 12 weeks prior to the show date.  Unfortunately you can't get the tickets if it's less than 24 hours before you're due to travel so remember to book in advance.
