<p>A rainy walk from Moseley Village up Alcester Road towards Kings Heath Station. Only took around 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
I'd earlier caught a Diamond 50 bus from Kings Heath near Sainsbury's towards Moseley Village near The Delly (what was Boo and previously Boots).<br />

<p>Pendeen Lighthouse, (Grade II Listed) also known as Pendeen Watch is located 2 kilometres to the north of Pendeen in west Cornwall. Trinity House built the lighthouse and foghorn in 1891 the building was designed by their engineer Sir Thomas Matthews. The 17 metres (56 ft) tower, buildings and surrounding wall was constructed by Arthur Carkeek of Redruth who had to flatten the headland before building could commence. Pendeen Lighthouse was automated in 1995 .<br />
<br />
Apart from the tower itself, with its machinery built into the base, there is an 'E' shaped building split into a terrace of four cottages. Three of the cottages were originally used to house the three resident keepers, their wives and families, with the fourth used as an office area and sleeping accommodation for the supernumerary keepers. They are now let as holiday cottages. Behind the cottages are three kitchen gardens (which soon fell into disuse as nothing would grow in such an exposed position) and, on the seaward side of the complex, a foghorn and its accompanying machinery. Water was originally collected off the flat roof of the accommodation block and stored in an underground tank.<br />

<p>Sunday service at a very wet Kings Heath Station. But at least it was dry under the protected canopy sections.<br />
<br />
Arrived around 12:20 to catch the 12:56 to Birmingham New Street one way, also to see the same train as the 12:39 to Kings Norton (before it returned to form the next service to Birmingham New Street).<br />
<br />
No other trains on the line on Sunday, so heading to Birmingham New Street, when it left the Camp Hill Line it was on the right tracks (usually used for trains going towards Kings Norton, not to Birmingham New Street).<br />
<br />
So it crossed the lines at Grand Junction and Proof House Junctions, before arriving at Platform 5A at Birmingham New Street.<br />
