Swift one in the Hind, down Waterloo way to the counting house for another, then the local hero, a quick one in the leccy cricket club,  finishing off at the symphony rooms. 

About 3 hours.

And if you want to make a proper day of it, a walk round the back of the station where for a small fee there are a number of substance dependent ladies willing to make your day complete .😂

Is it definitely permanently closed or getting a refurbishment?

It's just under 1.5 miles, so I'd say nearer 25 mins walk, unless you're a fast walker.   

I can do it in 20 mins, but that's a brisk walk - without getting held up at every traffic light crossing.   or stuck behind people dawdling along.

The crowds in the station are no problem.  So long as you have a ticket, it's just scan it at the barrier and through you go.

 

Btw there isn't a 7pm train.  There is one to Brum at 6.50pm or 7.20pm.

 

The first one would probably be too much of a dash.  The 2nd one, easily catchable.   It's about a 25 minute stroll ground to stn.

The question should be, how quickly can you get away from the King Power Stadium?
