  There is an hourly bus service from Lichfield to Walsall which runs via Aldridge and Rushall. Muckley Corner is also close to the M6 Toll. The South Staffordshire Line ran directly west of Muckley Corner. Hammerwich Station was only under a mile down what is now, Marebath Lane. The station was closer to Muckley Corner than Hammerwich itself. It closed in 1965 and the line closed in 1984 to Walsall but a stub from Brownhills to Lichfield via Hammerwich remained in use passing by Muckley Corner. This served an oil terminal until 2002 when the line was mothballed following closure of the oil terminal.
