Road directions
From the M42, junction 10:
Turn onto the A5 towards Tamworth, immediately leaving it to take the B5404 towards Wilnecote. You will pass the station on the left. Turn left at the traffic lights after the station onto the A51, then first left into Cottage Farm Road. The footbridge is at the end of the second small cul-de-sac on the left, almost opposite a road bizarrely called 'Cobia'.
Parking
The area is residential so should be fine so long as you do not block any driveways.
Public transport
Wilnecote station is served every 2 hours by trains from Birmingham to Tamworth, Derby and Nottingham.
There are regular buses also from Tamworth operated by Arriva. Services 8/9 operate every 10 minutes and serve Marlborough Way (the B5440) to the east of the station, services 116 (Tamworth to Birmingham) and 767 (Tamworth to Birmingham International) both operate hourly along the main road (A51).
Amenities
There is a Fish and Chip shop between the station and the traffic lights, also a Barbers on the A51.
