Find train tickets →Birmingham Airport (via Birmingham International station) → Harlaston Post Office B&B (alight at Lichfield Trent Valley or Lichfield City, then local bus/taxi)
💡 Free shuttle bus runs from airport terminal to Birmingham International station; buy an off-peak return for best value. Alight at Lichfield Trent Valley for direct link to Tamworth side, but if staying nearer B&B, use Lichfield City and catch the 765 bus to Harlaston.
Lichfield City bus station → Harlaston, The Green (stop for B&B)
💡 Buy a day rider for £4.50 if you’re doing more than one bus journey; the bus is reliable but can be 5 mins early – wait at the stop. Ask the driver for a ‘request stop’ at The Green if it’s your first time.
Birmingham Airport → Harlaston Post Office B&B
💡 Pre-book with a fixed fare to avoid surge pricing; ask for a sedan rather than an estate car if you have less luggage – cheaper. The B&B has a narrow lane approach, so confirm driver knows the postcode DE13 8BP.
Birmingham Coach Station (connected via airport bus or train) → Lichfield City centre
💡 This is slower but cheapest; from Lichfield bus station take the 765 or 765A bus towards Tamworth, get off at The Green in Harlaston, then 5-min walk. Check if your B&B can pick you up from that stop – they often do if you ask.
