Route 1878 runs 8.4 miles in about 29 minutes and covers six named areas: Wood Green, Darlaston, Fallings Heath, The Flatts, Darlaston Green and Shepwell Green. It is one of the few routes at this centre that reach a 50 mph limit, with 20, 30 and 40 mph sections either side. Fifteen sets of traffic lights and five roundabouts spread the workload, and there are only nine turns in total.

Watch Out For

  • Two give way junctions set close together on the northern loop.
  • The 50 mph section, where the limit has to be reached safely and then lost again.
  • Several multi-lane signal sets, so lane selection has to be made early.
