I will be traveling from Birmington Airport to Derby. Ariving airport 9am on a Saturday. Any details regarding catching train to Derby are appreciated. Need directions from the airport to the train station where I can catch the train to Derby. Also, what is station name? Where is ticket purchased? What is approximate costs? Can ticket be purchased with credit card?

I am traveling from USA to Birmingham, England and I would like to have a mobile phone to use while there. Does anyone know if I can purchase a pre-paid disposable phone at the Birmingham airport to use for local calls while in the UK? If not can I rent one at the airport or in one of the towns? Details appreciated.

Is there a celebration on New Years eve in Birmingham this year? I'm told that there is one at Centenary Square every year, but I can find no mention on any website.
Has it moved?
Or is Birmingham not having a community one this year?

A group of friends are going to be in Birmingham and want to find the "birthplace" of metal music. More specifically we are looking for the studio where Black Sabbath rehearsed and any other cultural places relating to Heavy Metal.

Thanks.

Thanks

how long does it take to walk from Birmingham New Street station to Birmingham Moor Street station? I'll arrive at New Street around 19:30 and have to catch another train (Chilterntrains)departing to Stratford-upon-Avon at Moor Street.

About changing trains, I have to change to another train again at Harron (but also with Chilterntrains), do I need to change to another platform, if yes, is it just opposite? Because according to the schedule on internet, there are only 8 minutes left for that.

Thanks for any help.

Of course I know there will be difference in tempature. But I am very perplexed as to what to bring for site seeing while in the UK. I will be on foot, so I know I will need appropriate shoes but do I bring sweaters, jacket, short sleeve shirts?
I just am not sure what to do.
Can someone please help?
Thanks so much!

Will be in Birmingham on a weekend, and leaving the city on a Sunday(so that's why no shopping on that day...).

Just need to know where you'd recommend if I want to hit the shops to do some retail therapy and what time do these shops close in the evenings?

Thanks for your assistance! :)

Hi! I've got a couple of hours to go shopping in Birmingham on Friday. Can anyone suggest a good place to go (like a mall) which has lots of shops in the same place? I'd particularly like to go to Primark, New Look and Au Natural if there are any of these. I'll be arriving at the airport and going to the train station, and wont have a car.
Thanks!
