"LONDON - MIDLANDS'(LMA?) has a certain ring about it if Long Marston has done with it ;-)
….or London-Elmdon (BHX)?? The country is littered with examples: London-Oxford (Kidlington) and London-Ashford (Lydd) are two examples. Wasn't Bournemouth going to be renamed "London-West" in the FR style of Weeze, Hahn, Charleroi, etc.?

Quite right, it's not the train journey time to/from London that is the issue, the Birmingham conurbation is too big for its airport to be yet another "London" airport.
