2 ticketing queries to Walsall

[syorksdeano]

I wonder if anyone can help with finding cheap tickets to Walsall.

Tickets would have to be bought on the day, as 1 journey is to be made off peak and 'if' the plan i have works then I may not need the other journey, but the way this week has gone I never know.

I am however requiring both peak and off peak for both journeys and will be coming back the same day.

Advances are no good as i am unsure of what time the return leg will be.

Anyway journey 1 is Sheffield to Walsall

Journey 2 is Manchester to Walsall.

The peak time if it helps anyone is that i have to be in Walsall for 9.30am

Many thanks, and if this post looks strange blame my phone

Thanks for your help everyone. Knew they was a station avoiding Birmingham but I really couldn't remember it.
