These are Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley train station, with the latter offering fabulous commuting links due to its split-level platform for the West Coast Mainline and the Cross City Line. This means there are regular services to Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and Redditch as well as national routes to London, Liverpool, Manchester and even the occasional Glasgow service. Train services to Birmingham are also available from Cannock via the Chase Line, which is closer to the home. Bus users will be delighted that the Cannock to Lichfield service passes nearby along Burntwood Road, with the Brownhills to Cannock service located on Brownhills Road.
