Am currently staying on this site for a few days before heading for the Stratford Show. Asked the wardens where the bus stop was for Halesowen and was directed to The Sun PH on the main road (B4551) - best part of a mile from the caravan site. Fair enough, I don't mind a bit of a walk.
When the bus arrived I was a bit surprised to see it pull out from the lane I'd just walked along for 20 mins instead of coming straight down the main road from Bromsgrove. I asked the driver and it turns out there are bus stops spread out along that lane - the nearest one being less than half a mile from the caravan site! It is just to the side of the Country Store's gates, by the postbox. No bus stop sign but that's the place.
On my return I asked the warden why I was directed to walk twice as far as was necessary to catch the bus. Apparently a while ago a disabled lady from the caravan site was sitting back from the road, the bus driver didn't see her so sailed on past. On account of that one incident anyone who asks the wardens for the bus stop is sent all the way to the main road, with no mention made of that much nearer stop. Ludicrous! Apparently I can be trusted to drive an 8m motorhome along those narrow access lanes, but can't be trusted to stop a bus for myself.
