The APM has been designed as an elevated mass transit system, which will transport passengers between the new HS2 Interchange Station, the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham International Railway Station (BIRS) and Birmingham Airport. The APM will consist of a 2.4km long viaduct, four stops and a maintenance facility. The Interchange Station Stop is at ground level and the three other stops and maintenance facility are on a viaduct (above ground level). The designated APM route will journey across heavily developed land whereby construction activities are considered to have a degree of complexity. For example, the APM has a multiple stakeholder landscape comprising of, but not limited to, Birmingham Airport, the National Exhibition Centre, Network Rail and National Highways.
