Slightly longer than usual layover here, but simply because our only options until then are simply to return back to Ammanford.

We next board the 0922 DANSA service X26 to Landore (The New Mex), arriving there at 1012 on Friday morning.

Rules

  • You should use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
    • An exception to this applies where the following service is formed of the same exact vehicle as the preceding service (applicable all day).
Noting that we are at the terminal point of the route and the next bus back is the last one of the day, we then board the 1900 Arriva Midlands North service 11 to Tamworth (the bus stop opposite New Street on Lichfield Street) that arrives there at 1906 on Saturday evening.

I don't know whether you have mixed this up with the Manor Hill stop but the Maney Hill Road stop is more or less equidistant between Sutton Coldfield and Wylde Green stations, almost a mile to each of them.

Edit: a quick check shows it's 0.8 miles/17 minutes walk to Sutton Coldfield station from there.

Yes, think we need to try and make a different move here as technically that's over the 0.5 mile walking limit and there would appear to be other bus services available from Maney Hill Road so I would propose that we're still at Maney Hill and the time remains 2000.
