Colliery railway
In 1906 a railway was constructed between Sneyd Colliery and a new landsale and canal basin at Short Heath on the Wyrley and Essington Canal. This closed in the late 1960s with the demise of Hilton Main colliery and opencast working on the Sneyd Colliery site.

Northbound M6 approaching Junction 10A
The matrix sign ahead is informing drivers that, although the hard shoulder is being used as a running lane, it should only be used by traffic which will be leaving the M6 to join the M54.
This is an example of the Active Traffic Management (ATM) system used on certain motorways where gantry signs are computer-controlled to set a variable speed limit, open the hard shoulder as a running lane and limit the volume of traffic entering at junctions, with the aim of improving the flow of traffic (see http://www.cbrd.co.uk/indepth/atm/ for more detailed information about the Active Traffic Management system).

Colliery railway bridge under M6 at the Sneyd
The railway ran from the Sneyd Colliery to a wharf on the Wyrley and Essington Canal at Short Heath. The bridge was built in the late 1960s. The line was taken out of use shortly after this. The bridge provides an access to Sneyd Community School built in 1980 on a former open-cast site and a watersports centre.
