Smethwick Rolfe Street, Birmingham
Taken from a train window, this platform is for local trains into New Street.
I seem to remember also that there was a small number of inter-city trains that were scheduled to stop here, enabling commuters to connect to/from Stourbridge / Birmingham route, rather than commuting all the way into New Street - this might have been a sweetner, prior to the Stourbridge service being rerouted later into Snow Hill.
