The 'Birmingham Area Railtour' organised by the Birmingham University Transport Society took us from Walsall in the north to Stratford in the south, Leamington in the east to Alveley Colliery (near Highley) in the west. Details of the route can be found on the Six Bells Junction website http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/ .
