The routes are as follows:

0720 - Birmingham City Centre, Station St (Stop NS13)

0735 - Selly Oak, Bristol Rd

0745 - Northfield, Bristol Rd S

Pickup points are flexible depending on demand. Please feel free to suggest a location - we may move stops round once we have an idea of where people wish to board. The final itinerary will be posted shortly before the day, once pickups are confirmed.

The fare for return travel is only £5, please note entry to the event is not included. Payment can either be made over the phone to The Green Bus (please call 0121 401 1666) or you can pay cash on the day.

To book your place please message either myself or jc, stating your route and pickup point; alternatively you can book over the phone. Please make sure you stick to this as if no one has requested a stop we will not go there!

Hope to see some of you on the 18th.
