Back to the car at Olton station and one tyre is on the rim. Flat tyre help in Solihull means the fitter comes to that bay and decides between repair and replacement without the car moving.
Flats in Solihull can be found rather than felt: a commuter back at Solihull or Olton station after a day in town, a shopper returning to a surface bay by Mell Square, a household in Shirley or Dickens Heath seeing the car sitting low first thing. A screw from the Stratford Road that leaked for three days, a perished valve, a slow kerb pinch from a Knowle lane. The temptation is to drive it to see how bad it is, which is how a repairable tyre becomes a replacement.
Ring with the location, the postcode and the code off the sidewall, and leave the car where it stands. The fitter puts air in, traces the leak, then decides: an inside patch for a tread puncture where the casing was never run flat, a new tyre in the correct size if the valve has failed, the liner has gone or the damage sits in the shoulder. The decision is explained at the car and the cost was put to you on the phone first.

A drive in B90 to B93, the station car parks at Solihull and Olton with the operator told, a bay at Blythe Valley or the NEC, or a street-level space near Mell Square. Touchwood's decks and the permit streets in Hillfield are harder, so mention them.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Solihull page
Flat on Blossomfield Road (B4102) near Widney Manor station, or on Marshall Lake Road (B4102) further along? Steer into a side street or legal bay, hazards blinking, and stand well back from the passing cars. Check whether the tyre is simply soft or right off the rim, then call with the street name. That detail shapes whether a repair or a new tyre makes sense.
A flat found on a Dickens Heath drive gives clues if you look before touching anything. A screw head glinting in the tread points to the Stratford Road; a scuff low on the sidewall suggests a Knowle lane kerb; a valve stem leaning or cracked means air escaped there. Then check the pressure on the remaining three. If the space-saver is on, it is a short-hop spare for low speeds, not a week of M42 commuting. Otherwise leave the car parked, because driving a flat grinds the liner.
