Same concept as the Local bus route thread, what's your local train line?

My local station in Smethwick Galton Bridge and my local lines are the Snow Hill Lines, the Walsall - Wolverhampton stopper, the Cambrian line/Holyhead - Birmingham International and Liverpool Lime Street to Birmingham New Street

That's 10tph to Birmingham, not too shabby  :)

Semi-local routes: 80, 87

Local station is Duddeston, but I only use trains for long distance or maybe International, Coventry or Wolverhampton.

Local stations are Acocks Green and Spring Road, but I rarely use local trains unless I'm in the mood to get to my parents quick, as I can get direct trains to Langley Green from either (depending on time of day).

If I'm heading to London to visit my brother, depending on what's on offer I'll get a Chiltern Rail service from Solihull, or a London Midland/Virgin service from New Street.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Rolfe Street is closer to where I live, but has less stopping trains than Galton Bridge, isn't on the Snow Hill Line which I need to use everyday

I don't really know haha. When I get the train I get the 11C to Kings Norton and get it from there but in terms of mileage I'd say Bournville is the nearest (bring back Hazelwell!).
