Stechford ?

PS Wolverhampton has 6 platforms !

 

[Yuanls]

Yes
1. Stetchford has 3 platforms
2. There is a extremely infrequent service between Birmingham int. and Walshall. I have only seen it once.
3. The West Coast Mainline and the Stetchford-Aston line.
Originally I was down to deciding between Stourbridge Jct and Stetchford, and I chose Stetchford because I knew more about it. Bad luck on the first guess!

Hi

I can't find the Walsall services in the NRT. Can you help?

I only guessed it because of the parliamentary service.

The service was mentioned on Wikepedia a while ago, and I saw the Walsall train in late 2013/early 2014 at Stetchford. I couldn't have read 'Wolverhampton' as I was actually travelling on that train.
The only trains I have seen are:
A special excursion train in 2007
A diverted Virgin train in 2009
The London Midland EMU

Except for the very few direct Walsall to Birmingham International trains, only two platform faces are regularly in use.
