The Hawthorns railway station - general view
Stations built as part of the resurrection of services between Smethwick and Birmingham Snow Hill were to a standard design, readily identifiable by the footbridges and lift towers. A train to Dorridge has just left The Hawthorns.

The Hawthorns railway station and tram stop, West Midlands
Opened in 1995 on what is now the line from Birmingham Snow Hill to Stourbridge. There had previously been a Halt where the left hand platform is, opened in 1931 by the Great Western Railway on what was then its main line from Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level, but this closed in 1968. Unusually, the other three platforms were beyond the arched bridge in the distance.
View west, the line soon curves left towards Smethwick and Stourbridge. The tram stop is almost hidden on the far right.
See Image for a view in the opposite direction.
