I can second OltonPete's comments ( post 1130),when everything functions you can catch a train at the International Station within 15 minutes(With cabin baggage/delivery at aircraft).
Yesterday at 14.50 hours everything went exceptionally well.E gates working and it was plain sailing thereafter.
On BBC Radio WM this morning there was a programme about BHX.Apparently they reported delays of 50 minutes going through UK Border Control yesterday at lunchtime??.(Maximum wait of 25 minutes being the target).According to industry experts this could get worse due to staff cutbacks and the regions will suffer as LHR will get priority.
On to another related subject,could somebody please explain why the escalator down to UK Border Control always seems to be out of action !
