LMS Route: Water Orton to Walsall
Sutton Park Station: mrspk342
Looking towards Walsall from the up platform as LMS 4MT No
2482 arrives with a Walsall to New Street local service. The three-coach train
forms the 1:45 pm (Saturdays Only) Walsall to Birmingham local stopping train.
This photograph of the signal box shows off the typical Midland Railway
practice of off-setting the steps that led up to the cabin so that the door was
not immediately opposite the top of the steps. This appears to have been a
safety feature designed to prevent staff from exiting the door in the dark and
falling down the steps.
