The mammoth journey will take travellers through some of the most dangerous areas of Pakistan on their way to Iran, Turkey and Europe before reaching the Midlands city after around eight days, officials said.

Tahir Khokher, the transport minister of Pakistan-administered Kashmir told AFP fares would be around 20,000 rupees ($210), a fraction of air fares that are typically close to $1,000.

Birmingham has a large population of British Pakistanis, many of whose families originally hail from Mirpur, one of the largest cities in the Pakistan-administered part of the disputed Himalayan territory.

Khokher said he was confident of passengers' safety, even though they will pass through Pakistan's troubled southwest province of Baluchistan, which is plagued by Taliban militants, sectarian violence and a separatist insurgency.

"Officials in Baluchistan have assured me of providing foolproof security," he said.

Officials have been working on the plans for three months and are in talks with a number of bus companies, Khokher said, but no date has been set for the service to start.

To help with population control? These muzzies turn their own countries into religious hell holes and then flee to countries like Britain and Mzanzi - bus will be much more convenient than aeroplane and the refugees will have more choice - abscond in Poland, Greece, Hungary, Germany, Holland ...... And then they proceed to turn their adopted countries into hell holes too.

I agree with you Pointman. Pakistani's are Asian Nigerians. Their behaviour is synonymous to Nigerians, only difference is that 12 of them will sleep in one room everywhere they rent and are dirty ppl.I'm not sure if their bus plans will work out because the British have tightened their immigration laws more than before. Pakistani's and Nigerians are deported all the time in England/ Ireland and their fake convenient colleges are closed everyday.
