Its real growth started in the 18th century when science and technology development cause an economic revolution in this area. In the 20th century, the Watt steam engine was invented here. Its six high standard universities make it largest Higher education centre in the country outside London. It is the fourth most visited city by foreigner visitors. http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/ It was the 18th of October when we plan the visit of Birmingham. After considering different options, travelling by a Virgin train was finalised. 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
