All bus routes into Lichfield call at the Bus Station, which is opposite Lichfield City Rail Station and adjacent to the main shopping areas. Buses serve destinations including Stafford, Rugeley, Tamworth, Cannock, The National Arboretum, Burton on Trent, Birmingham and local villages.
Lichfield is well placed for the main road network being close to the A38, A5 and M6 (Toll) so is easy to get to by car. Parking can be more of an issue as the number of spaces is often not sufficient to cope with demand, especially on Saturdays. However, the city does not usually get busy until mid morning on Saturdays and before Christmas, so early birds do well. Main car parks are as follows: Multi-storey car park situated near Lichfield City Station - warning tight spaces; The Friary - Large car park, but a little further from the centre; Cross Keys - Recently built two storey car park; Off Beacon Street - Large car park at rear of shops, but tends to fill up first
Lichfield has two stations. Both are on the Cross City Line from Birmingham. Lichfield City station is served by four trains an hour, with every other train also serving Lichfield Trent Valley. City Station is adjacent to the centre and is the easiest way for rail travellers to get in to the city. Trent Valley Station is really useful because it is on the West Coast Main Line with regular direct trains to Birmingham, London, Northampton, Milton Keynes, Stoke-on-Trent and Crewe (change for Manchester, Glasgow and Liverpool). The Local trains also serve Tamworth, Nuneaton, Rugby, Rugeley and Stafford.
