Your information is correct. One needs to take a train from Heathrow to London (at Euston station). Then, take another train to Birmingham.

但你要計埋Heathrow去London Euston車站個程，要成個鐘，兩程要兩個多鐘，而且拎埋行李搭地鐵轉火車，都幾花氣力及精神，搭Coach有人搬行李上落，一定有位坐，如果路線及時間配合，我會選coach。

Taking airport express from Heathrow to Paddington should be around 20 minutes. Then taking a taxi to Euston will be much faster. I choose train because I don't like sitting in a coach for 3 to 4 hours. I tried once and told myself that I would not take it again for long journey. Of course, if the student has a lot of luggages and don't like that "complicated" route, then taking a coach is rather convenient. But remember to sit on the left hand side to "watch" your luggage (whch have been put in the luggage compartment) as the bus will stop on route several times before arriving Birmingham.

你的親身體驗是最有參考價值的，謝謝！其實不難想像，Birmingham 是英國第二大城市，治安應該都不會好到那裡的了。找到了一個UK police網站，只要輸入英國各地的郵區編號，便可查閱當地的罪案宗數及分類，區域可以分到好細，極有參考價值。網址如下：

輕按網頁右上角的放大鏡，便會彈出視窗給你輸入英國各地的郵區編號查閱該區治安近况。

我到過Bath, York, Durham, Kent, Reading 及Norwich, 會覺得這六個區份都是讀書的好地方, 而University of Bath及Durham排名應比Birmingham高。

University of Bath/Warwick/Durham 也是女兒目標之一，排名高相對入學要求也嚴苛一點，學生成績好讀書風氣自然好，只不過年初女兒考IELTS的成績只達overall 7.0，而仍未達分科7.0的要求，下月再考第二次，希望她成功達標啦!

Some other universities are also good and the hostels are close to the campus teaching buildings, such as Loughborough, Leicester. Student life there is much simple than that in the big cities. Also, the community is relatively less complicated.

If your daughter would like to live in Birmingham, then Aston is another good choice as they have on campus accommodiation.

My opinions are based on my memory to the places. If I am wrong, please correct me.

未呀！下個年度先去，不過綜合竟見，會選擇由Heathrow坐Coach去，point to point方便D，一上車就可💤💤💤!
