Planning a trip to Birmingham in a few weeks. On the 26th May (Bank Holiday) we'll be getting the train at about 9 from Five Ways to Longbridge, then walking to Stourbridge Junction. We'll get the train to Jewellery Quarter then the Metro to Five Ways metro.
I think the best option is the Network Daytripper? It looks to me that I can't buy it from Five Ways train station, because the ticket office won't be open until 10? However, I can buy it from the machines at the Metro station? Am I correct in all that, or is it purchasable on the machines at the train station? It's a short diversion to walk to Five Ways train station via the metro on the 26th, we can do that, but is there any other way of getting the ticket? Can I buy it in advance and if so does that have to be at a ticket office at a train station in the West Midlands, or could it be at either: a Metro station ticket machine; or a train station ticket office in a different part of the country (specifically Newcastle)? We will be arriving into Birmingham by car and not at a train station until the 26th, so visiting one before would require a specific trip.
