I would advise anyone in the West Midlands and Especially those of you who hold a young persons railcard to use the Trains in Bimingham.

The Fares subserdised by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive are of good value. a return from University to new street only costs £1.30 or 90p with a young persons railcard. compared with 90p each way on a bus.

Most of the trains operated are relitively new and reasmonbly clean. However diesel trains from Snow Hill are some what cramped.

Unfortunatly Reliability is not always up to scratch. Last Winter there were delays of up to 30 minutes, however now this has improved somewhat.

Buses I have only used about twice so I am not quite sure what they are like. Do not expect any change on Buses here.

There is also a Metro Line From Birmingham to Wolverhampton. I don't go to those parts often so I don't know much about the Metro.
