Description
You may be a regular on the Cross City Line - from Bromsgrove/Redditch through Birmingham to Lichfield Trent Valley - or you may never have been on it. Regardless, there are some highly interesting things across the network and in this second video I look at the interesting things to look out for from Kings Norton through to Aston station, getting off at every station inbetween!

I am not trying to copy Geoff Marshall's format of 'Secrets of' hence why this video is in my own style with it being a bit longer and more in-depth than the original 'Secrets of' series on Londonist!
