• Public Transport:

Note: For public transport, we recommend getting a pass to the service as they work out cheaper than new tickets everyday. They usually last for 1 term.

• • Train: Birmingham is well-connected by train services. The nearest train station to BOA Digital is Duddeston, with trains that go to Four Oaks, Wolverhampton, Redditch and Walsall. Birmingham Moor Street is a short 20 minute walk away with Trains from Worcester, Kidderminster, London Marylebone, Stratford Upon Avon and the 'Stratford Line Trains' like the ones to Whitlocks End. Birmingham New Street Station (underneath Grand Central) has trains from Reddich, Litchfield, London Euston, Birmingham Airport and more. New Street also links to Duddeston if you are going to one of the Duddeston listed stations, which may allow you to get on the train faster.

If you have a bus pass, We would recommend getting the number 14 as there is a stop next to the School however the 94, 95 and FD (Fort Dunlop Bus) is a Short Walk from the School. You can always take any other bus but we recommend getting a pass as it works out cheaper and you can get closer to school.

Tram: The West Midlands Metro tram system also provides access to Birmingham's city centre. You can catch a tram to the Corporation Street tram stop and walk to BOA Digital from there. There is a new Tram stop to be opened near the school in a few years due to the Curzon Street construction by HS2.
