The South Staffordshire Line really needs to be reopened as soon as possible, and they also need to reinstate the trains from Stourbridge Junction to Birmingham New Street!

@SamMitchell90 The Stourbridge to New Street line most defo needs passenger trains again.I miss the early 90's when all trains went to New Street.Snow hill is complete fail compared to New Street.

such sad looking sights! the gov should reopen these lines as these would be good for the local economy and bring life back to the black country!!

pensall? is that an error or is it an old name for pelsall? i know it used to be called Peolsford.

@japaneseey I go through Pelsall, and film over there (see my videos) and yes, its quite a shame, but spooky really along that track.

Seems a shame it closed as I think many people would find it useful these days, what with more traffic on the roads. Would be cool if it could be converted to a light rail/tram line but knowing how terrible public transport is in the Midlands compared to London, that will never happen.

at 4:23 that used to be a mini depo at one point

[040train]

[GWR4079]

[GWR4079]

[MidlandNinja]

Round Oak steel terminal is actually still open

[040train]

[frenchie23666]

@040train yes daily for freight only

[MidlandNinja]

The line between Walsall and Lichfield closed in1984 and the bit between Walsall and Brierley Hill closed in 1993 but they will reopen the Walsall to Brierley Hill section in a few years but not sure about the line north of Walsall

Good compilation. Sad to see that there's so little left, the Hammerwich station buildings and Wednesbury goods shed seemingly the only survivors until Round Oak is reached...

[Marillionmad]

Its Pelsall not Pensal :) Nice vid, though
