Birmingham Airport air-rail link service reopens following essential maintenance

Passengers travelling to and from Birmingham Airport can once again use the Air-Rail Link following a temporary closure for essential maintenance work.

Birmingham Airport has announced the reopening of its Air-Rail Link service, restoring the direct connection between Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International Railway Station.

The service was temporarily suspended from 11.30pm on Wednesday, November 11, to allow essential maintenance work to take place.

During the closure, passengers were provided with replacement bus services to maintain connections between the airport terminal and the railway station.

The replacement buses operated from Bus Stop D outside the airport terminal and Bus Stop NB at Birmingham International Railway Station.

Passengers were also able to use a clearly signposted pedestrian route between the two locations, with QR codes available to help travellers navigate the alternative walking route.

The reopening will come as welcome news for passengers relying on public transport to access the airport, particularly those travelling by train from across the West Midlands and beyond.

Birmingham Airport thanked passengers for their patience and understanding during the temporary disruption.
