Answer 3

About an hour and a half depending what route/stops. Its a lot cheaper to drive there than get the train. But its up to you which is best for you.

Answer 4

Vincent M has got it spot on. And yes, it is cheaper to go by car but parking your train doesnt cost £10 in Birmingham where as parking your car does if you want to go to the centre of Birmingham!

Answer 5

About 1.5 hours, maybe cheaper to drive but if you book far enough in advance you can get fares as cheap as GBP12.50 each way (Virgin Value Advance C) so it can be cheaper to go by rail.
