SUMMARY:Public Transport Group Trip to Stourbridge
DESCRIPTION:Shrewsbury & West Shropshire CAMRA social trip by public transport from Shrewsbury to Stourbridge. This is the first of our out-of-area PTG trips for the year. Members and non-members welcome! \n\n\n\nWe have seven pubs on the list to visit\, with more options available if required. The seven pubs include five current Good Beer Guide pubs\, and pubs with beers from Bathams\, Black Country Ales\, Fownd\, Craddock’s\, etc. So it should be a good day. \n\n\n\nTRAVEL INFORMATION \n\n\n\nThe two main options for getting to Stourbridge are by train to Stourbridge Town station\, or by train to Wolverhampton and then bus to Stourbridge.  \n\n\n\nThe train takes 1hr 34m with two changes\, and includes a trip on the Stourbridge Town shuttle.  \n\n\n\nThe train and bus option will take around 2 hours to get to Stourbridge but is probably a bit cheaper\, and also gives people the option of stopping off at further pubs on the way back to Wolverhampton. \n\n\n\nShrewsbury to Stourbridge Town by Train: \n\n\n\n\n09:59 from Shrewsbury\, arriving at Stourbridge Town (after 2 changes) at 11:33   (change at Smethwick Galton Bridge at 10:52\, 19 min wait for the 11:11 to Stourbridge Junction arriving at 11:27\, 3 min wait for 11:30 Shuttle (every 10 mins) to Stourbridge Town arriving at 11:33)\n\n\n\n\nShrewsbury to Stourbridge by Train & Bus: \n\n\n\n\n09:30 train from Shrewsbury\, arriving in Wolverhampton at 10:10\, then walk to bus stop to get the No.16 Bus at 10:35\, arriving in Stourbridge at 11:40\n\n\n\n\nThe last pub of the day is opposite the Stourbridge Junction station approach\, so those getting the train back can go from there. For those going back by bus\, they can either take the shuttle train\, bus or walk back to Stourbridge bus station\, before taking the bus back to Wolverhampton. \n\n\n\nStourbridge Junction to Shrewsbury by Train:   From Stourbridge Junction\, choice of: \n\n\n\n\n16:30 and change at Smethwick Galton Bridge to get the 16:59 arriving in Shrewsbury at 17:53\n\n\n\n16:50 and change at Smethwick Galton Bridge to get the 17:20 to Sandwell and Dudley\, and change again to get the 17:30 arriving in Shrewsbury at 18:21\n\n\n\n17:30 and change at Smethwick Galton Bridge to get the 17:59 arriving in Shrewsbury at 18:53\n\n\n\n\nStourbridge to Shrewsbury by Bus & Train:   No.16 Bus from Stourbridge bus station\, choice of:  \n\n\n\n\n15:45 bus arriving Wolverhampton at 16:56\, then Train at 17:12 arriving Shrewsbury at 17:53\n\n\n\n16:10 bus arriving Wolverhampton at 17:21\, then Train at 17:41 arriving Shrewsbury at 18:21\n\n\n\n16:25 bus arriving Wolverhampton at 17:35\, then Train at 17:57 arriving Shrewsbury at 18:47\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: Please double check your train and/or bus times just in case there are any mistakes with the above times. \n\n\n\nPUBS \n\n\n\nFor anyone getting to Stourbridge earlier than 11:30 when the main group arrives\, there is also a Spoons in town (Chequers – open at 8:00) and another GBG pub (Hop Vault – open at 11:00).  \n\n\n\nThe Seven Stars Black Country Ales pub in Oldswinford will be our final stop.
