Birmingham Airport wants high speed train links
22.08.09
Birmingham Airport has begun a campaign to press for high-speed trains to serve the airport and NEC. At present the Government is considering plans on how to implement a new, faster route between London and the West Midlands. The airport has written to its business partners urging them to champion the benefits of a stop at Birmingham International.
Both the borough’s MPs, Caroline Spelman and Lorely Burt, have joined calls for Birmingham Airport to be included in the proposals. But in a letter to airport stakeholders, John Morris, the airport’s head of corporate affairs, warned that there was no guarantee that the station would be served. The letter calls on businesses to write to the chief executive of High Speed Two - the company which will carry out an inquiry into the rail plans.
