Twickenham Stadium to Birmingham: Home to the Midlands After the Game
Booking a taxi from Twickenham Stadium to Birmingham gets you 113 miles up the country in roughly 2 hr 25 min once clear of south-west London, the bulk of it on the M40. A saloon to New Street is £233 for up to four people, and the price is for the car, so a family or a group of friends heading back to the Midlands after an England match or a summer concert pays one fare between them.
Getting away from 82,000 people
Twickenham holds about 82,000, and on match and concert days the roads immediately around the ground are closed to general traffic before and after the event. No car, booked or otherwise, can wait at the gates. We agree a meeting point outside the closures in advance, in the direction the car will be leaving, and the driver messages you when they are parked. A walk of that length is still quicker than the queue for the station, which on a sell-out day can hold supporters back for a long time.
The route north to the Midlands
There are two ways to reach the M40 from Twickenham. One is the A316 and M3 to the M25, then clockwise past Heathrow to junction 16; the other cuts north through Hounslow and Hayes on the A312 to the A40 near Northolt, joining the M40 at Denham. After an event, when the A316 is full of departing traffic, the northern cut is often the better bet. Then it is the M40 past High Wycombe, Oxford and Banbury, and the M42 towards the city centre, the airport or Solihull, depending on where you live.
Getting home by train instead
From Twickenham the train to Birmingham means South Western Railway into Waterloo, the Northern line to Euston, then Avanti West Coast or London Northwestern to New Street. That is three legs after a long day, and on match days the first of them comes with the stadium crowd. The last trains from Euston to Birmingham leave in the late evening, which can be tight after a night game or a concert that runs past ten. The car's advantage grows with every extra passenger and every late finish.
Fares, vehicles and supplements
For four friends with match-day bags, a saloon at £233 is enough. For more, the MPV costs £250 and the 9-seater minibus £283 for up to eight. Most international weekends fall on Saturdays and Sundays, when only trips before noon attract the 20% supplement, so a Saturday evening ride home from Twickenham is the standard fare; a Friday-night fixture is the exception, since every Friday journey carries 20%. If you also need a car down for the game, add the Birmingham to Twickenham Stadium journey to the same booking; taking both directions together knocks 5% off.
