Trains at Smethwick Galton Bridge train station (High Level) on 7/9/11

★ Watch In 720p HD! ★

This video includes several trains arriving, departing and passing by at the high level of Smethwick Galton Bridge train station, just outside Birmingham, on 7/9/11. Although more trains pass by here than trains that stop, the station is quite busy due to the fact that there are 2 railway lines, a lower level serving main destinations such as Birmingham New Street, Birmingham International, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Holyhead, Aberystwyth and Liverpool, and a higher level serving main destinations such as Kidderminster, Worcester, Great Malvern, Birmingham Snow Hill, Birmingham Moor Street, Dorridge and Stratford-Upon-Avon. I decided to film these videos from platform 1 for the best view possible of trains arriving and departing around the corner and under the bridge. I had recently arrived from Wolverhampton, and was planning to return back there in a few hours after doing a bit of train spotting on both levels of the station for the day. The station is situated just outside Birmingham and West Bromwich, near the M5 motorway and Smethwick Galton Bridge itself. It is between Sandwell & Dudley train station and Smethwick Rolfe Street train station on the low level and between The Hawthorns train station and Langley Green train station on the high level.

Here is a list of the trains that can be seen in this video:

1) London Midland Class 150 arriving at platform 2
2) London Midland Class 150 departing from platform 1
3) London Midland Class 150 arriving at platform 2
4) London Midland City Class 153/London Midland Class 150 departing from platform 1
5) London Midland Class 150 arriving at platform 2
6) London Midland Class 150 departing from platform 1
7) *NEW* London Midland Class 172 arriving at platform 2
8) *NEW* London Midland Class 172 departing from platform 2

Love that 172. The London Midland livery sits well on it.
