Social trip by public transport from Shrewsbury to Sedgley and Wolverhampton. This is the second of our 'out of area' PTG trips that we do in January and February each year. Members and non-members welcome! Suggested train is the 10:30 Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton. The anytime day return fare appears to be £12.30. On arrival at Wolverhampton we will make our way to the old tram stop in Bilston Street and get the No. 1 bus to Sedgley getting off at the Crown public house. A short walk takes us to the Beacon Hotel, home of Sarah Hughes beers. The pub should have three of their beers on plus two guests. When we are ready to move on we will return to the centre of Sedgley and visit the Swan Inn. The pub re-opened in January and should have six beers on including Kinver. Once again when we are ready to move on we’ll return to Wolverhampton. Depending on our arrival time, we will try to visit the Duke of York, Lych Gate Tavern and, of course, the Great Western. The fast train back to Shrewsbury leaves at 41 minutes past the hour. For more information about our Public Transport Group (PTG) trips, please see the About Our Events page.
