The multimodal interchange at Birmingham International railway station allows passengers, arriving by either train or bus, to access the airport terminals directly via the airport’s new SkyRail ‘people-mover’ transit system.

The development has two separate bus lounges, serving local and national operators, as well as an upper concourse level, which collects passengers from the railway station. Travellers are then transferred directly into the airport terminals via the new elevated, cable-operated light rail ‘people-mover’, which was built by Doppelmayr of Austria, the world's leading manufacturer of ropeways, cable cars and ski lifts.
