There is no bus to that part of Earlswood, NXWM don't go out there.

Nearest bus would be Johnson's X20 to Hockley Heath then a walk up Cut Throat Lane to the centre.

Or get the train to The Lakes, but you'll still have to walk there.


I agree with Rob though, many years ago now we had a works day out at Delta Force, was a great day!

I agree - and the X20 gets much closer to Delta Force than the train does.  However, it isn't a safe walk to get there from any direction - the roads are narrow and windy, and cars speed along them.  It goes against the grain to say this, but if you can't get a lift, a taxi is the best bet.

Grosvenor used to run a regular service out there but it failed miserably. They do still run a school bus between earlswood & Solihull but I'm not sure if this is a registered service or private

There's also The Johnsons X50/150 Service from Bham to Redditch, which You could get off at Inkford Brook (horse & jockey pub) & take a Public footpath across fields from there, but other than That as already mentioned is the Johnsosns X20 at Hockley Heath or The Train to The Lakes stn
