Local context

Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands County, of England. It is the largest local authority district in England by population and the second-largest city in Britain – commonly referred to as the second city of the United Kingdom – with a population of 1.2 million people in the city proper in 2024. Birmingham borders the Black Country to its west and, together with the city of Wolverhampton and towns including Walsall, West Bromwich, Dudley and Solihull, forms the West Midlands conurbation.

Local drop-offs in Birmingham include Bordesley railway station, University of Birmingham School of Dentistry, The Pen Museum, hotels in the city centre, and any residential or business address you give us.

Traffic patterns we drive through

The actual road, not the schedule.

M40 J16 (Solihull) to J6 (M42) carries heavy HGV traffic weekday mornings — add 15 min. For NEC, Solihull or Birmingham International Airport, exit M42 J6 — 102 miles, 1h 35m, avoids Birmingham city centre entirely. For Edgbaston, Bournville or QE Hospital, A38 from M5 J4A is faster than M6 J6 city approach.

Named drop-off points
