Airport starts high speed rail stop campaign
22.08.09
Birmingham Airport has begun a campaign to press its case for high speed trains to serve the airport and NEC. At present the Government is considering 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.
The borough’s MPs, Caroline Spelman and Lorely Burt, have both joined calls for Birmingham International to be included in the plans. But in a letter to 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 that will carry out an inquiry into the rail plans.
