West Midlands Day Ranger - 30th September 2017
The West Midlands Day Ranger ticket covers a large area of the West Midlands for just £25 (before any railcard discount) and provides excellent value for money for unlimited travel between the extents Hereford, Crewe, Rugby and Leamington Spa. We opted to travel from Kidderminster having attended a night shoot on the Severn Valley Railway the night before. We traveled into Birmingham before heading back to Stourbridge and then down to Leamington Spa for the afternoon. We also took time to explore Birmingham City Centre including the new Midland Metro Tram extension outside the newly redeveloped Birmingham New Street.
