The character of Oldbury
Portway Park and the town centre sit close to the M5, with the roads around them functioning more as through-routes than destinations in their own right. Short-stay parking near the council offices covers most casual waiting. The industrial estates further out have wide access roads built for goods vehicles, which suits a scheduled car collection well.
- Sandwell & Dudley station, despite the name, sits inside Oldbury and is a reliable meeting point.
- Council office pickups use the short-stay bays near the main entrance.
- Industrial estate roads are wide and straightforward for a scheduled collection.
- The M5 at junction two is the most likely source of delay at either peak.
