Or you could fly LDY to BHX using the direct Ryanair flight from the end of October.
LDY to BHD sounds stupid, until you consider the 150 minute train journey, and the pot-luck drive. Having recently had the misfortune of driving from Belfast city centre to Derry on a Thursday evening, the bottle-neck at the end of the M2 and at the end of the Tomb bypass made a 75 mile journey take nearly three hours, so I'm sure there'd be some takers for a LDY to BHD.
