This is the best overground train and it's the fastest and most luxurious train. It takes only 1 hr and 25 mins from London to Birmingham city. The starting point is the Euston station in London.





In one and half hour after completing a comfortable journey and enjoying beautiful scenic views, we reached Birmingham. If you are travelling by air you can get a different mode of transportation at the airport, watch this video for guidance.
