From the upper platforms at Galton Bridge station, the junction between the former Great Western line and the ex-LNW line coming in from Birmingham New Street can be seen beyond the A457 bridge. Immediately beyond the junction used to be Smethwick West station. It was replaced by Galton Bridge station when the line between Smethwick and Birmingham Snow Hill was re-opened.
