Other than that, MAN has no mainline services, whilst e.g. BHX is a mainline station serving many parts of the country
Just a query, but when trains go as far as Glasgow, Newcastle, Holyhead, York and Edinburgh direct from MAN, just how far do trains have to travel before they are considered 'mainline' exactly?
And lets not forget Insuindi, Birmingham International doesn't just serve BHX does it? Dont forget that large exhibition centre on the opposite side of the tracks to BHX that will be drawing a lots of the stations passengers.
