Round Oak steel terminal is actually still open

[frenchie23666]

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!!

[frenchie23666]

@040train yes daily for freight only

I SHOULD HAVE ADDED THAT BEECHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN STRUNG UP BY HIS BALLS FOR DESTROYING THE RAIL SYSTEM ACROSS THE COUNTRY

[aliasdeputydog]

What a wasted opportunity not to use these old lines as a new Metro Tram system across the West Midlands

[aliasdeputydog]

@GWR4079 ..Nice idea,but as a former Pelsall boy,no self respecting rail buff would ever consider turning a former South Staffs, LNWR or LMS line into GWR rail usage.strictly LNWR trains only thank you..Mind you saying that,just prior to the line closing in 1965 and still being used by steam trains I used to travel behind the A4 Pacific Loco "Sir Nigel Greasley" on journeys into Walsall most days.What a sorry state the loco used to be in.

@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.

[SamMitchell90]

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!
