Glasgow & South Western Railway shacks now cleared in the G postcode area. Still require some in KA and DG postcodes.


Thursday 17th March

Four Oaks
Butlers Lane
Wylde Green
Chester Road
Shenstone
Lichfield Trent Valley

I have already definitely done Lichfield City, Blake Street, Sutton Coldfield, Gravelly Hill, and Aston at various points between 1988 and 1997.

Erdington*
Selly Oak*
Bournville

I have already done Five Ways, Kings Norton, Northfield, Longbridge, and Redditch at various points between 1988 and 1997.

*Unsure if I have done these stations above previously, so done those now to be sure.

Bromsgrove (1840 location)
University

Marston Green

Lea Hall*

Again, unsure if I have ever done this station before. However, I do remember taking the 16 bus to Lea Hall station around 1989, when it used to run from Hamstead Green Lane to Lea Hall Station, and its sister route the 17 ran from Hamstead Station (or extensions to/from Great Barr, Scott Arms Mon-Fri peaks) to Garrets Green, The Radleys. Also, I remember picking up the 99 bus that ran between Small Heath and Chelmsley Wood near Lea Hall station.

Crikey that's some fine results from you guys lately!

I have a megaton of other stuff to do, but I *will* post my latest scores soon. 26 of them since my last update IIRC, and the red pen has been busy this month. With a 37 hour week ahead, I will still be struggling to find time for much!

As long as I book next weekend's tickets and hotel then everything else will have to wait!

When I actually bother to do it is another thing altogether, least all the others don't have a walk or a +634

 

[185143]

Not many to go on the Heart of Wales line now!

For me or you? I need 8, but with far stricter rules.

Fair game, not bad. I'm glad I don't use your rules! Sorry I did mean not many for you. I need 5 more, I hope to get them done soon...

rg177: I direct you to my trip report from January to find an easy way to do Breich!
