The airport and the city and the region would then have two options, either to market that new connectivity in some way, or to continue to market BHX solely as a gateway for Birmingham and the midlands region.
Wonder what they'd call it? London (Birmingham) perhaps or maybe London (Midlands)? 😀
Rail link to London post HS2 - A lot of work would need to be done to Birmingham "International' railway station to posh it up. Its a draughty old hole at the best of times.
