Football matches in Birmingham ( Aston )

Aston Villa is the club the catalog assigns to the city string Birmingham ( Aston ). The club travel page calls Villa Park its home and places it about 2.2 miles from Birmingham city centre. In the rail section Witton station is about five minutes on foot and Aston station about 15 minutes. Elsewhere on the same page the walk from Witton is described as less than ten minutes. From Birmingham New Street the page gives nine minutes to Witton and five to ten minutes to Aston. On match days a traffic exclusion zone covers Witton Lane from the junction with Aston Hall Road to the island at Witton Road, and Trinity Road between Nelson Road and Witton Lane, from two hours before kick-off until about 30 to 60 minutes after the final whistle. The Stagecoach AV82 shuttle, on men's home matches, runs from Dudley Street outside Birmingham New Street direct to Villa Park and starts three hours before kick-off. Arriva's AV1 from Tamworth drops passengers at Holdford Road.

Selected match pages

These pages are separate from the D1 snapshot. Each page gives the date and ticket route only when a checked match source states them.

Plan a visit in the city

Settle Aston Villa, the date and the stand first. Then use the club travel page for Villa Park rather than a generic Birmingham address. For rail, the stations named there are Witton and Aston, with the shorter walk from Witton. To avoid the exclusion zone on Witton Lane and Trinity Road, use the AV82 from Dudley Street outside Birmingham New Street, or, from Tamworth, the AV1 to Holdford Road. Parking at the ground is limited on that page to permit holders. Disabled parking should be booked 48 hours before the match through accessibility@avfc.co.uk. The travel page that was opened does not name a ticket shop and does not state a kick-off for any particular future match.

What to distinguish in this travel scope

Witton station and Aston station

The travel page places Villa Park about 2.2 miles from Birmingham city centre and names two stations. In the rail section Witton is about five minutes on foot, while the walking note says less than ten minutes. Aston is about 15 minutes on foot. Birmingham New Street to Witton is given as nine minutes, and New Street to Aston as five to ten minutes. The pinned season revision lists Aston Villa against the city string Birmingham ( Aston ) and names Villa Park as the ground recorded there.

Exclusion zone on Witton Lane

On match days the club excludes vehicles from Witton Lane between the junction with Aston Hall Road and the traffic island at Witton Road, and from Trinity Road between Nelson Road and Witton Lane. The zone runs from two hours before kick-off until about 30 to 60 minutes after the final whistle. The precise end depends on traffic. Parking inside Villa Park is for permit holders. For disabled parking the page gives accessibility@avfc.co.uk and asks for a booking 48 hours before the match.

AV82 and AV1 shuttles

Stagecoach's AV82 runs on men's home matches from Dudley Street outside Birmingham New Street direct to Villa Park.

Home and away supporters may board, and the buses are described as wheelchair accessible. Arriva's AV1 serves Tamworth and drops passengers beside Villa Park at Holdford Road. The return starts 20 to 30 minutes after the final whistle. The page lists it for men's home matches in the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League and domestic cup competitions.
