Midlands Engine Rail Plans to Provide Step Change in Connectivity to Coventry and Birmingham International Railway Stations Midlands Engine Rail plans to provide step change in connectivity to Coventry and Birmingham International railway stations July 15, 2020 More than two million people will have access to new, direct rail services to Birmingham International and Coventry stations for the first time, as part of plans submitted to the Government. The project is central to fulfilling the Government’s levelling-up agenda, aiding the region’s economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic by supporting enterprise, development and regeneration across a number of important growth sites across the West Midlands. The ‘Birmingham Airport Connectivity’ rail improvement scheme, developed by Sub-national Transport Body Midlands Connect, will open up new, hourly direct connections to Birmingham International and Coventry railway stations for 2.2 million people living in and around Derby, Sheffield, Doncaster, York, Darlington, Durham and Newcastle. The project, one of seven schemes that makes up the £3.5 billion Midlands Engine Rail programme, will also double the number of services to Birmingham International and Coventry from Leamington Spa, Banbury, Oxford and Reading from one to two trains per hour, and introduce new direct services between Birmingham Moor Street, Solihull, Warwick Parkway and Oxford. These enhancements are made possible by double tracking sections of the railway between Leamington, Kenilworth and Coventry, as well as utilising the additional network capacity created by HS2. The benefits of these improvements would also be felt by local people and commuters travelling on the Coventry to Birmingham rail corridor, one of the busiest in Europe, by reducing overcrowding and congestion. It is estimated that the scheme will cost in the region of £125 million to £180 million, while construction could begin as early as 2024. Once double tracking is completed, an additional service each hour to Birmingham International and Coventry from Oxford, Banbury and Leamington could be introduced straight away. After Phase One of HS2 is completed, the additional capacity created on the network will allow the introduction of direct services to Birmingham Airport and Coventry to and from Derby, Sheffield, Doncaster, York, Darlington, Durham and Newcastle. Providing access to over 150 destinations worldwide via Birmingham Airport, Birmingham International station is on the doorstep of a number of nationally-significant assets including the National Exhibition Centre, Resorts World, Birmingham Business Park and Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull plant. The arrival of High Speed Two (HS2) at the nearby Interchange station, which will be connected to Birmingham International via an automated people mover, is catalysing extensive development and regeneration in the surrounding area. To realise the full benefits of this transformational opportunity, the Urban Growth Company (UGC), set up by Solihull Council, is leading infrastructure investment across the wider ‘UK Central Hub’ area which also includes the 140 hectare Arden Cross site, supporting up to 5,000 new homes, 650,000 square metres of commercial space and 70,000 new and existing jobs, generating £6.2bn GVA every year once development is complete. Midlands Connect has submitted an Outline Business Case for the Birmingham Airport Connectivity scheme to the Department for Transport (DfT), produced in partnership with Network Rail, with an immediate request for £20million in government funding to develop detailed designs, planning and final costings. Midlands Connect and West Midlands Rail Executive are also looking at further works on the corridor that will allow additional local and freight services to operate. Sir John Peace, chairman of Midlands Connect, said: “As we work to recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19; embarking on an ambitious and successful path post Brexit, our international connections and relationships with other UK regions will become more important than ever. Providing a step change in rail connectivity to the city of Coventry and Birmingham International railway station, our proposals will enhance access to Birmingham Airport, the West Midlands’ gateway to the world, as well as the nearby NEC, Resorts World and Jaguar Land Rover. “Integrating these upgrades into the existing network, with the arrival of HS2 at the adjacent Interchange station, will generate unparalleled investment and growth, creating jobs, thousands of new homes and more places to work, live and relax. Our proposals will benefit workers, residents and travellers, bringing two million more people to within a direct rail journey of these exciting destinations.” Nick Barton, CEO of Birmingham Airport, said: “Enhanced rail connectivity to and from our regional cities and towns is crucial for our airport customers and employees, and supports our rail modal share target of 25.5% by the year 2023. Investing in infrastructure is now even more important than ever to help stimulate the economic recovery following the pandemic. We look forward to working with our partners to plan for the future and connect the regions by rail and air once again.” Councillor George Duggins, leader of Coventry City Council, said: “There’s no doubt that Coventry as a business and leisure destination has a huge amount to offer. This project will create direct rail links between Coventry and the cities of Derby, Sheffield, York and Newcastle, linking over two million more people to the city’s sports venues, museums, workplaces and tourism hotspots, many of which will receive global recognition next year during our UK City of Culture celebrations. “The scheme will also deliver major long term benefits for local rail users. To build on our 2021 legacy, and as we move towards a carbon-zero economy and bounce back from the economic impacts of COVID-19, it is vital that these improvements go ahead.” Photo credit: Midlands Connect.

  • Overview of Regional Airports – Maximising the Benefits for Birmingham
    Overview of Regional Airports – Maximising the Benefits for Birmingham A report from Overview & Scrutiny Birmingham City Council, 09 June 2009 Foreword By Cllr Timothy Huxtable Chairman, Regeneration O&S Committee 09 June 2009 In many recent debates at City Council meetings, the important role of transport infrastructure in increasing economic growth, job and wealth creation and investment in Birmingham (and the wider region) has been discussed in great detail. Included in this debate is the importance of Birmingham as a global city and the need for excellent international links. To fulfil the City Council's intention of becoming a truly "global city with a local heart", Birmingham requires world class national and international gateways – Birmingham International Airport being one such gateway. The proposed extension of the runway at Birmingham International Airport will bring many challenges but at the same time should create many opportunities and it is the identification of these opportunities and how they can be maximised for the benefit of Birmingham and its citizens that this report seeks to grasp. These opportunities includes the "economic multiplier" effect to the local economy of encouraging companies and organisations to locate events at the NEC or ICC; the tourists we can attract with the city and region’s varied attractions; and the inward investment that can be secured as a result of quick and easy links to other major business centres. This Overview looks at maximising the benefits for Birmingham of Birmingham International Airport, and in particular Birmingham International Airport and its proposed runway extension. For Birmingham (and the wider region) to capitalise on growth in the global economy and to bring jobs and investment to our city, Birmingham International Airport needs to have a runway capable of making direct connexions to these global growth areas.
