Thanks for the info - that's useful. I think it would be better to say "prices coming soon" then, rather than incorrect info as now. The AbB website is pretty awful on a desktop PC, and seems designed to show pretty graphics on a smartphone, rather than anything useful.

OK thanks. Embarrassing if not, as 323s shuttling between University and Perry Barr will let the side down a bit.

I think these are for the Cross City line, so I would think they'll want them running for the Commonwealth Games.

Hi, and sorry if this is already answered/wrong thread - Visiting Cornwall in May and trying to do a bit of planning. Does anyone know if the £9 Cornwall wide day ticket is valid on the Coaster buses? If so, what - if anything - do you get extra for the £15 Adventures By Bus day ticket? The...

Hi. Had a search, but can only find a few direct replies to a specific question/situation, not what the general rules are. I travelled with a couple of friends on Sat 18th Dec 2021 from Rowley Regis to Cheltenham using groupsave and split tickets (at Worcester Foregate Street), turning a £28...

WM Metro update 10th Dec has now confirmed a phased return to service from sometime next week ... "Currently nearly half the fleet has received permanent repairs and this work is continuing. Several new trams are also entering the final stages of testing required before they can enter passenger...

Hi. The video is in post #17 on the first page.

A lot of comments about New Street seem to be from people just using their instinct and knowledge of the previous station to find their way around. To answer some of these points and some inaccuracies that have popped up in the thread: The main concourse is open plan to allow through...

The Snow Hill lines are indeed busy (normally) but it's a big job and needs to be wired completely as one project, so will get pushed down the list. In order of priority, I would imagine other lines will be wired first: 1. Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury. This one is a no brainer and will allow...

The new track forks just before the current terminus and passes the bus station before turning and terminating outside the railway station. Once complete, services from Birmingham will alternate between the two. There will eventually be more services than present with the new line to Dudley and...

Majors in Bilston - close to Bilston Central tram stop - are probably the best known in the Black Country.

That's a shame, the Beer Dock was always my last port of call before getting the train home from Crewe. Their website says it's the Nantwich one that's closed, and the Crewe one has moved to the High St, but it's maybe not up to date. P.S. (and O.T.) - good to see someone else who has heard of...

That's probably part of it. Also the rise of ordering from apps like Just East amongst the young (where the trad fish & chip shops are less represented), plus some owners retiring, changing eating and working habits. Having said that, the good ones seem more well known and are still very busy...

The Midlands' orange chip shops can be quite variable, but when the chips are dusted sparingly and cooked properly they are fantastic. Even better when served with bits/scraps/insert your own term here. They seem to be dying out as the kebab/chicken shops replace trad chippies. Same with the...

Captain Cod is v good, agreed. The one just down from the stations - next to Weavers Real Ale Bar - used to be even better, but it may have changed hands since I last used it. Can't believe I'm pining for some chips at 09.30! Good to see the proper spelling of chippy too. Sheds.

Except the West Midlands mayor is already a Tory; Andy Street.

They are. They started the building works in the summer. From the TfWM web site: Link to the story here: https://www.tfwm.org.uk/news/new-snow-hill-station-entrance-will-give-passengers-direct-link-between-trains-and-trams/ Edited (eventually, sorry) to add quote and describe link as...

Quite. Demolishing Perry Barr flyover is absolute insanity, and will increase pollution/traffic/bus delays by orders of magnitude. Anyone else interested in stopping this madness can sign the petition and view a nice photo of the flyover @ change.org: http://chng.it/pfs2bSkjZy

A couple of stations that spring to mind: Birmingham New St - Easy Hotel, John Bright St (SW exit) or Britannia Hotel (at your own risk!), New St (NE exit). Both within a couple of mins walk. Exeter St Davids - Great Western Hotel on the station forecourt. B & B with a real ale bar.

I had to submit one for the first time last Sunday, for delays on Thu 8th. The acknowledgement email came through on Monday morning. Sheds.
