Of the towns we cover, Nuneaton — along with nearby Bedworth — is the one where East Midlands regularly competes with Birmingham on convenience as well as price. BHX is usually about 30–35 minutes via the A444 and M6 or A47. EMA is often about 40–45 minutes via the A5 or A444, which is why it is worth opening both sets of fares before you pick a side. Luton remains the longer M1 option, typically around 1 hour 10–20 minutes.

A444 and M6, or A47. Trains towards Birmingham International from Nuneaton station.

Getting to the airport
Nuneaton station is on the West Coast Main Line, with trains towards Birmingham. For BHX, you will usually connect to Birmingham International and take the official Air-Rail Link. For EMA, many people drive; public transport is a train-and-bus combination and needs more slack in the timetable. Drive times are typical off-peak figures — the A5 and M6 can both slow down at peak times.
