Getting Around West Bromwich
If you’re arriving from Birmingham city centre, get the 74 from Corporation Street — it goes direct. The bus stop is literally 30 steps from the BnB front door.
Pre-book with a local firm like West Brom Cars rather than the official airport rank — saves at least £5. Ask for a fixed price quote to avoid surge charges.
Buy a Day Tripper ticket (£5.50) from the machine at the stop — it covers tram and bus until midnight. The walk from West Bromwich Central is up a steep hill, so aim for the Dartmouth Street exit.
Get a Swift card from the shop at the airport bus station — single fare drops to £2.30. The X1 stops right at the corner where Dartmouth Street meets Whitehall Road.
