24/1/12 - To work by Bus, Birmingham

Well I had decided that twice a week I will miss the rush hours of Birmingham, by travelling into work by bus.

I am staying with a nice couple in their house and had checked the travel options

I had done loads of preparation, looked at maps, used the bus companies web sites and plotted options. I was ready

Woke up and it was hissing it down. Sod it I was going to stick to my plan.

Laptop, coat, brolly, hat, gloves.

Walked to the bus stop and caught the 9. No idea where I was. I was checking my GPS on my mobile, but no good really. the bus was all fogged up as everyone was damp.

Got off at Snow Hill, not the stop I was planning, but it worked. Crossed the road, waited 3 minutes and caught the 75. This worked too as it drops me virtually outside work.

I now had a return path. So the trip worked, was easy and painless.

Going back was the reverse, but the real reason was that it Steak Club Tuesday at Wetherspoons, so off I went for a few beers and a steak for tea along with a surf of the net.

What happened next, read the next blog entry
