Two days in real time have elapsed since that last posting was made, so I will make an emergency follow-on posting, using the same bus service.....

We next board the 1441 National Express West Midlands service X20 to Rubery (the bus stop opposite St Chad's Church on New Road) that arrives there at 1507 on Tuesday.

At least, after waiting for two days in real time on this quiz, my emergency last posting took us to a stop where alternative bus services were available, which was my plan....

Wishing to ensure that our next destination would have a good selection of different bus services to choose from, we next board the 1634 National Express West Midlands service X10 to Merry Hill Bus Station, which arrives there at 1726 on Tuesday.

After an overnight short break, we next board the 0457 National Express West Midlands Platinum service 529 to Monmore Green (the bus stop adjcent to Corser Street on Horseley Fields) that arrives thee at 0515 on Wednesday.

(Point of general transport interest : Monmore Green once had a railway station on the LNWR Stour Valley line, opened in 1863 and closed in 1916. It was located near to the junction of Bilston Road and Landport Road.)

As this is an area that is not well known to us for walks to bus stops at such an early hour, so we stay with the tram system and next board the 0608 West Midlands Metro service to Priestfield that arrives there at 0631 on Wednesday.

(Point of general transport interest : Priestfield once had a railway station on the main line of the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway, opened 5th July 1854 and closed 6th March 1972)

General observation:
Winson Green Outer Circle tram stop has it's namesake from the fact that it is served by the Outer Circle 11A/11C service.


Here at Priestfield, on the opposite side of Bilston Road is the Stow Heath Lane stop. We cross over to it and board the 0642 National Express West Midlands service 79 to West Bromwich (Town Hall), arriving there at 0720 on Wednesday.
