Norton Bridge :
The footbridge was closed on H&S grounds
A survey is required for a new footbridge, still waiting

Bescot :
I can't find anything about this station closure
Bescot Stadium is showing as open

Bescot was closed for re-furbishment but re-opened a couple of days ago

Closure proceedings and consultation with the local councils started for Norton Bridge in 2005, although there was talk of it being a stop on new Manchester - Birmingham stopper services last year.

I would rate its chances of ever seeing another train as low although Polesworth which had the proceedings started at the same time is to get a new footbridge soon

There is a road bridge very near to Polesworth station so I would have thought it would have been cheaper just to build a path from the other platform to the road and then both platforms could be used
