Sutton Park station was on the line between Castle Bromwich & Walsall opened by the Midland Railway in July 1879. Closure to passengers came in January 1965 & the station buildings have been demolished. The line remains open for goods traffic. The 'Birmingham Area Railtour' organised by the Birmingham University Transport Society took us from Walsall in the north to Stratford in the south, Leamington in the east to Alveley Colliery (near Highley) in the west. Details of the route can be found on the Six Bells Junction website http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/ .
