    Stuff to do in Birmingham and parking?

    Digbeth is within the emissions zone. The boundary is the Ring Road (Middleway/A4540). Definitely worth checking if it’s not a modern petrol car

    Probably around £4 for all day parking. Parkopedia (linked above) has details including pricing

    Stuff to do in Birmingham and parking?

    There are some open air car parks around Digbeth that are cheap, getting to them can be a bit of a pain as the roads are a mess at the moment with the ongoing Tram works. It may be better to park around the Chinese Quarter, but that area will be busy as it's Chinese New Year this weekend

    Police called as commuter sits in empty first class zone on packed rush-hour train

    It mentions in the story his commute is from Wilnecote to Birmingham New Street. This is only a 20 minute journey but is usually very busy, and the serving pattern isn't great. I still don't think it's worthy of a news story

    booking from the US advice

    Good to hear you've got it all sorted. Our train system can be confusing for a lot of locals. I hope you have a fun trip, please, come back after and let us know how you got on.
