The Commonwealth Games are returning to England for a third time and this time, Birmingham has been selected to host the exciting multi-sport event! The last time the Commonwealth Games were held in the UK was in 2002, twenty years ago when the event was held in Manchester. Before that, England hosted the games once, in London in 1934… and there won’t be many people alive today who remembers that. So, the Birmingham Commonwealth Games is a very exciting event for the British public and lots of people will be travelling to Birmingham to watch the events.
If you are one of the lucky people who are actually journeying to Birmingham to watch the events, then congratulations. But, how are you going to get there? And back home again. Have you properly planned visiting 2022 Commonwealth Games to make sure you can get the most out of this once in a lifetime event? The biggest thing you need to consider is how you will get to Birmingham.
There’s lots of options when it comes to visiting 2022 Commonwealth Games, including:
If you have a car and you don’t mind being the designated driver, then you could drive there. Of course, this does mean one person has to be the responsible designated driver while everyone else if having fun. If the journey is a long one it is also a good idea to have the car serviced to be sure it is up to the journey. The last thing you want is to break down on the way there and end up missing everything.
There are lots of options here from buses, to trains, to coaches. They’re all good options, some will be quicker than others but all of these options will be longer than driving there directly, because they all include additional stops. It is important to keep in mind that public transport isn’t the cheapest option, in fact, a train ticket alone (depending on where you’re travelling from) can cost over £100 alone. You also need to consider that the public transport won’t drop you off exactly at your desired location. You may need to use further methods of transportation to actually get to where you want to go.
Minibus Hire or Coach Hire. Instead of driving yourself there or taking public transport, you could use a minibus hire or coach hire service, with a driver. That way, no one in your party needs to be designated driver and you don’t need to worry about things like cars breaking down. You’ll be collected and dropped off at the exact location you want to be at, and when you get there, you don’t need to worry about parking (and paying for parking). What’s more, with a minibus or coach, your party can be as big as you like!
