Then the train from Bristol is about £6 to Birmingham if you go that way.
Maybe the magic moon train is, but they don't run very often. It's why I drive, it's much cheaper than getting the train. And I make the damn rules about when is time to spend most of an hour driving around Birmingham hunting for a hotel which may not exist.

You can get the train from Bristol to Birmingham for about £35 but it involves buying multiple tickets (even though you stay on the same train).

Really? The 45 minute train to Bristol from Cardiff is £4. I thought you could get one to Birmingham from there for about £6. I just looked and the off peak return is £40 though... wowza.
An advance single Birmingham->Bristol is £11, change at Gloucester, two and a bit hours. The return journey is the same. The usual advance restrictions apply, though. I think it's a Cross-Country train.
The trains aren't actually bad. Most of the time trains that are delayed are rush-hour commuter trains. I think I've only encountered delays on a long-distance train once.
I have arrived home safely and can report back the following interesting thing learned in Birmingham:
1. I managed to find and visit the Museum of Pens. It should be more correctly called "The Museum of mainly Steel Nibbed Pens, with associated other stuff"
2. I have also managed to find the home of Rip van Winkle's author
3. They are the same place!
4. Plum wine is nice
Also, I have some photos but there appears to be a snafu of some kind related to their uploading, so will have to try again tomorrow

Aren't you in Germany? Why don't you just fly straight in to Birmingham with bmibaby or something?
Also, have you seen my sig?
Well, ok, I'll probably do just that. But anyway...
Yes, I've seen your sig. I'm greatful there'll be one less person licking me. That way I can save myself for kakos, should we ever meet. :P
You... cheating.. WHORE!
That would be slightly mad, though.
Way, way down the rabbit hole... err... south. Near Stuttgart.
Edit: No, that was not meant as encouragment!
You would not like me to find you a cheap way of meeting us in my boredom, therefore doing any necessary work for you? Fair enough. :P
Who knows how the fuel market will look in a few months.
