Birmingham coach location?

[dougal1]

I noticed today that Digbeth high street is completely closed to traffic for construction but can't find any info online about the disruptions/coach location. My tickets are booked from Digbeth coach station so presume this hasn't changed but access looks like a nightmare, not sure how to get dropped off. Anyone else travelling from there and have any ideas?

Digbeth coach station is open as normal, the coaches leave from the back of the station rather than onto the high street so generally it's not too bad.

 

Dependant on what route they take they might get caught in traffic getting out of the immediate area but generally it's not as bad as it looks. Depending where you're coming from you're best getting dropped off five minutes away and walking the last bit.

Great, thanks for that! Good to know it's not as bad as it looks, will just need to figure out where to get dropped off closeby.

Dependant on where you're coming from I'd look at somewhere around the back of the station, maybe by the anchor pub. Or even down by Hurst Street which will be a ten minute walk. The whole city is very walkable tbh, fifteen minutes from the bullring also. Might be worth getting there a little earlier as roads may be busier due to the train strike.
