Considering the Portland Hotel in Birmingham?

~ Cheapest Way of Transport ~ by Heavens-Mirror
Buses run regularly throughtout Birmingham day and night. There are buses to and from the town centre almost every 15 minutes. From The Norfolk hotel on Hagleys road it only cost us £1.20 to the town centre which was a 10 minute journey away. This was bus number 225.
Also a tip if you want to get back to the city from Drayton Manor park bus number 110 is the one to get, its only £2.50 and takes around 30 minutes back to Birmingham. The bus stop is located on the left hand side of the road once you get out of the park and only a 10 minute walk down the road.
We made the mistake of getting a taxi there at a cost of £25.00 but decided to get the bus home for only £2.50 each.
