№ 03 — The route home
Birmingham → Cranfield, in plain terms.
65 mi via A509 → M1 → M6 → M42 → A45. Around 1h 14m in light traffic.
Birmingham → MK is the only major airport from this catchment that's faster than Heathrow despite the comparable distance — the M42 → M6 → M1 route doesn't touch the M25 at all. Around an hour in light traffic, 1h 20m in peak. Birmingham still gives 10 minutes free to set down, and any pickup parking is included. Worth noting: the direct train from Birmingham International to MK Central is 38 minutes for £6.80 — the taxi makes sense for 2+ passengers, hold luggage, or non-train hours.
№ 04 — Drop-off in Cranfield
Where we drop in Cranfield.
Cranfield drop-offs cover the village, Cranfield University and Cranfield Airport (the university's research airfield, not commercial). University staff and conference visitors are a regular fixture.
