Transport from Tamworth Station via thegreenbus.co.uk

for those travelling down by train we have a bus organized via thegreenbus company that probably takes a more countryside route than the m42 above.  conkers is roughly ten miles away from tamworth station.

Tamworth railway station is located where the Cross Country Route passes over the West Coast Main Line, in the United Kingdom, although there is no rail link between the two lines. There are four platforms: platforms 1 and 2 on the low level (the West Coast Main Line) and platforms 3 and 4 on the high level (on the Cross Country Route)

Please let emma@conkertu.com or phil@conkertu.com if you are travelling in on the train and your expected time of arrival we really hope to have everyone arrive around similar times so we can get everyone on in one go.   the bus will also take people back at the end of the day - ideally all in one go also.

Get on the bus, Gus!

Woop woop for all you public transport devotees out there!  In the true spirit of Buy Nothing Day The Green Bus Company has agreed to provide us with a totally free service from Tamworth Station to Conkers and back for the ConkerTU launch on Saturday 28th November.

Remember that Tamworth Station has excellent North-South and East-West connections on Virgin, London Midland and Cross Country trains, making ConkerTU incredibly easy to get to.

But The Green Bus is no ordinary bus, not only is it green, but it is WIFI and GPS enabled so all you live event bloggers out there can start tweeting from the minute you get off the train!  How’s that for a digitial diversion?!

Combined with the superb package that The Peel Hotel in Tamworth have offered to all our ConkerTU guests, I am beginning to feel disappointed that I don’t have further to travel myself!

Phil intends to hook up with Michael at The Green Bus Company in the very near future, so we can get you some footage to show just how cool your journey to and from ConkerTU is going to be.  In the meantime, I am nearing an outcome with the car-sharing arrangements and hope to have yet more accommodation options, ideally within walking distance of Conkers, for these guests also.

As ever, big thanks to Jonathan O’Farrell of @Ibstock_does and @RichardBeldon ofLets Go Local for all the additional hints, tips and pointers towards useful local contacts.  Judging by these guys’ enthusiasm, I have to say you’re in for a hearty welcome in the Heart of the Forest!
