You can use the Chiltern Railways free app to buy your tickets (and website). E.g. super off peak return to London Marylebone. You can pick up the tickets in the ticket machine at the station.
Graffiti all over (Street art). Old Industrial buildings. Home of Custard Factory and City of Colours etc.
Lots of historic buildings here. Free parking either side of the High Street. Or Town Centre Car Park at the golf club. Railway station hourly trains on the Shakespeare Line. Several tea rooms/ pubs.
Bit hard to find of don't go often. Had to check Google Maps to find it again. But once there is somewhere nice to relax and have your coffee. Within a shopping centre.
Three platforms but most trains stop at platform 1. Two footbridges now. One with a pair of lifts. The town centre is in walking distance. Car park and bus stops nearby. Pedestrianised outside.
Formerly the Lichfield Heritage Centre. Has a museum (free entry). No photography of exhibits allowed. For £3 a guide can take you up the spire for wonderful views of Lichfield! Over 100 steps.
Trains on the Cross City line from Redditch, Longbridge and Birmingham New Street etc. Some go on to Lichfield Trent Valley. The Class 323's still quite comfortable. You cruise through countryside!
In easy reach from the no 1 bus stop on Harborne Road (near Morrisons). Is a Drive Thru, but you can have a drink and food inside also. They did my toastie a bit quick, needed extra minute or two.
Seems to have been redecorated in the past year or so. O2 wifi is now working. Still a bit cramped inside. Might sometimes get busy, especially at lunchtime. Not enough tables.
Nice hotel. Not much staff around. Have to press buzzer in reception to get their attention. No Automatic machine for getting your rooms cards. When we "checked out" there was no staff in reception.
Only popped along to take photos of the place. It is free. But the gate was padlocked on my visit. So you can only go inside on event days.
