I used to catch Diamond buses all the time, mainly because they were a much cheaper option to get…read moreto and from town when compared to West Midlands travel. But now, for 10p dearer, and the option to buy a day saver, West Midlands travel beats Diamond's (£1.80* single) service hands down; Unless you're only making one journey that is. If this bus service was more regular, I would probably use it more often, and buy a return/day saver. But at the moment, it's likely that you'll be waiting quite sometime for a return bus with Diamond, so it makes more sense to purchase a day saver ticket (£3.80*) with the consistent and reliable West Midlands service. However, particularly regarding the 17 route, there does seem to be an increase in this service, so maybe I will switch over to using them if they become more constant in other areas (such as the 50 route). Nevertheless, the only truly great fact about Diamond is the super fast time it takes to get to the city centre (mainly because nobody really catches it, so it doesn't stop very often!)

My first impressions of the Diamond buses were completely positive. I mean, eliminate flooring,…read moreleather seats, what's not to like. It's only been since I've began to buy a day-saver with the Travel West Midland buses, that Diamond have started to arrive at the completely wrong time, becoming more and more frustrating due to the fact that I'd have to spend another £1.80 just to use the bus. If all Birmingham based buses were tied to the same company this would not be an issue, but sadly, it is. These specific buses aren't as regular as Travel West Midland, so based on that fact and their ability to arrive at the worst possible points; I'm not a fan.

This is my local train station. I pass through it on a daily basis and can report that it…read moreis...err...a non-descript local train station. It is on the Snow Hill-Stourbridge London Midland line and some of the Chiltern Trains to London Marylebone stop here too. The station has a ticket office WITH AN ACTUAL PERSON at most times. There are tickets machines in the lobby for when the office is closed. The waiting areas are alright, though I sometimes want to brush the seat off before I sit down. The best bit is the cool little station shop - they sell newspapers, magazines, sweets and breakfast stuff, like bacon sandwiches, tea and toast.

This place is no Rowley Regis…read more The ticket staff here are so slow sometimes I feel like jumping in front of a train. Once one member of staff stood there looking at me through the glass after I had brought my tickets wondering why I was going crazy. It's because the train is parked up and you have forgotten to pass the tickets under the window!! I missed my train. You are forgiven, but I'll never forget, There's a shop that seems to only open for 20 minuets a morning where you can buy coffee from a 100 year old machine or a freshly made bacon or sausage sandwich. I opt for the energy drinks and chocolate bars to calm my nerves over the slow service. There is a self serve machine but no one likes using them, your in risk of snapping a finger typing in your destination on it. Toilets are where you'd expect a troll to live, even by my very low standards of hygiene. The one nice thing about this station is that when the barriers are up you can walk across the lines. Makes you feel risky and adventurous.
