If you are travelling from Birmingham City Centre or Birmingham New Street Train Station to the Vale Village accommodation there are two best travel options, we recommend:
Taxi - (Advised if you have luggage, approx 15 minutes)
Taxis can be found in the taxi ranks outside New Street Station, and Birmingham International Airport, or you could use a service such as Uber. Please check taxis are suitably licenced or make provisions to book in advance.
Train - from Birmingham New Street Station to University (Birmingham) Station. You will then have a roughly 20 minute walk to the Vale Village.
If you are travelling from Birmingham International Airport directly to the Vale Village you can take a taxi, or travel from the airport train station Birmingham International to Birmingham New Street Station and follow the guidance above.
