Looking at going To Lichfield in a couple of weeks maybe to visit Lichfield City for local football club to play in the Play Offs of there league, From Walsall could I get to Lichfield City seemingly the closest station to there stadium without going through Birmingham, Google Maps for a Saturday says I need to go to Birmingham New Street, then CrossCountry to Tamworth then LNWR to Trent Valley, but Can't I go Walsall to Rugeley, Rugeley to Lichfield Trent Valley and either walk or get the CrossCity Line back to City, if I can do this what Ticket would I ask for.

Depending on your time of travel, you have a few different options.

You can plan a journey and get ticket prices at the National Rail website:

To be honest, it is probably quicker (and cheaper) to get the 8 bus from Walsall to Lichfield.

Changing at Aston avoids Birmingham New Street, that's the most direct rail route

323202 and 323206 depart WMT on Monday for Wolverton for handback works before heading North to join Northern.

The first 730 is due to start on the cross city line on Monday, however no idea on which diagram yet.

It's the diagram that starts with the 0607 Birmingham to Lichfield
