Journey Detail: Telford to Birmingham Airport
From Telford, the drive to Birmingham Airport is around 45 miles and normally takes an hour or a little under.
It’s the M54 all the way to the M6, then round the north and east of Birmingham onto the M42. Taking the M6 Toll instead of the main M6 can save time when the M6 is congested, and our fixed fare covers the toll.
We collect from Telford’s business parks and hotels as well as homes in Shifnal, Oakengates and Dawley.
