Or (as I now see the direction requested!), Northfield>Bartley Green, bus#18 (at .29 &.59 past hr), 17mins, then 06min wait for bus#002 to Halesowen, 15mins.
Have another play with www.transportdirect.info selecting start finish locations with town/district/village drop-down option & the maps will show you where to board/alight the bus.
ps. It seems you'd be passing the 'Somers Sports & Social Club' which sounds good - 10handpumps, listed grade2, but limited lunch hours (12-14:00).
pps. You may need a Camra card to get in!

Brilliant!! I think you just saved my day!
Why I didn't think of it in the first place!
I can catch bus from Northfield to Selly Oak where I can catch bus from Selly Oak to Halesowen.
Thanks Trainman!

Up to you old bean, tho that doesn't look as geographically direct, to me, as the example above. I also read that Waggon & Horses (14 HPs) and Hawne Tavern (both Halesowen) are past award winners.

I dont care about geographically.. as long any bus will take me to Halesowen

I've always preferred any bus that takes me away from Halesowen myself !
Cheers,

Bit of a cock up on the geography front on my part - it is Ruislip Manor I will be at tomorrow, not Rayners Lane. That said, I was at the Village Inn a couple of weeks ago when I went to see Harrow Borough v Dartford (only for it to be called off 45 mins before ko). There isn't much in that part of the world but the Village did have 4 guests on and I've certainly been in worse 'Spoons. I'll try and get a review on tomorrow.

I don't see anything direct from Selly Oak... that route seems to require another change at 'Court Oak', nr Bearwood, north of Harborne.
