Water Orton Footbridge Update

As the weather was so nice today I thought I'd make use of it so after college I went down to Water Orton from 2:30 til 5:00 and spotted some 66's as usual and a 57.

Great photos.
How easy is it to get to Water Orton from Birmingham other then by the train as the train times don't seem good.

Thanks for the comments.

Unfortunatley Water Orton is fairly hard to get to by public transport because of the infrequent trains and the akward bus services.

There are 2 bus services running to Water Orton. One is run by TWM and is the 590 and the other is the 777 run by Stagecoach http://www.stagecoachbus.com/warwickshire/timetables.php?depart=&arrive=&service=1105

I go with my dad who drives down there in the car as I don't live far from the station. Driving there is by far the easiest.

Water Orton is fantastic for photography, got this picture on 26th November last year

Easy to get to by car, but public transport can be poor to say the least
