Last Saturday, we saw the launch of our new matchday shuttle service, in partnership with Birmingham City FC 🚌 The service was a huge success, with over 1,100 fans using the shuttle to reach the stadium from the city centre. Feedback on the launch has been excellent, with fans commenting that it helps them get to the ground quicker and earlier, as well as being able to leave the car at home. A huge well done to our Birmingham Central garage team, who went above and beyond to make the operation a great success. The shuttle will be in place for all home games this season, continuing with tonight's fixture against Huddersfield Town ⚽
