How far is it from the station to the cathedral please ?   

And is there only one station in B'ham ?   40 years since I was last there !!

Im going into Birmingham tomorrow I will be able to answer how far lol when I get home. As for Stations I know of three New Street which is the main one and Moor Streetwhich I used only once to get to Marylebone and Snowhill which I think is more for local journeys x

[Lydart]

I guess the trains from Hereford go to New Street ... I'll find out times, but need to know how far from the station to the cathedral ... walk ?   bus ??

Hi All,

Lydart, according to thetrainline.com you can travel to either New Street or Moor Street from Hereford

Hereford 07.40 - New Street 09.11
      "       08.40 -   "         "     10.11

      "       07.40 - Moor Street 09.28
      "       08.40 -    "        "      10.28
cost on both £13.20 off peak day return

there's really no difference in distance from either to St Martin's though New Street can be a bit manic at times where as Moor Street is quite a nice restored GWR station (think it's possible to see St Martin's from Moor Street but not from New Street.

looking forward to meeting everyone 

best wishes, Tony

Heck, that means I'll have to leave home before seven ... 

Its about 50 mins drive to Hereford, and I'll have to leave time to park ...
