pdf version of the map. This is
a short walk (approximately 15 minute) from the School of Mathematics. The optimal
route can be determined from the maps.
Getting to the School of Mathematics from Birmingham New Street
Take a local train to the station called "University". This station is marked on
this map and it is
a short walk to the School of Mathematics.

This is a non-trivial walk, so you may prefer to take a taxi from
outside New Street Station, this should cost a about £6.
