Transport
There is an excellent travel planner for Birmingham, which actually lists Stechford Baptist, and will give you the best route by rail and bus to anywhere in the West Midlands. Click here.

Train: Stechford Station has regular, fast routes to Birmingham New Street (every half an hour, about 7 minutes travel time), and, in the other direction, to Birmingham International. You can get a train to London or Manchester from either of these.

Bus: The 11 route is Birmingham's outer circle, and follows (more or less) the A4040. It's very convenient as far as Erdington (north) or Acocks Green (south), but any further and you are probably better off going through Birmingham city centre.

The 14 goes from Iron Lane to Birmingham Centre, and the 97 goes from Bordesley Green East past Heartlands Hospital. The 36 from Stechford Five Ways takes you to Sparkbrook, and the 36C to SparkHill.

The city council
Stechford is in the Stechford and North Yardley Ward, part of the Yardley Constituency.
