Making a further attempt to source a railway station, we next board the 1920 National Express West Midlands service 87 to Smethwick Galton Street Station that arrives there at 1938 on Wednesday.

I've not heard of Galton Street Station. I believe the two stations in Smethwick are Galton Bridge or Rolfe Street.

I've not heard of Galton Street Station. I believe the two stations in Smethwick are Galton Bridge or Rolfe Street.

I was so pleased to have found a railway station that will allow us to escape from the Birmingham area, having a few postings earlier made attempts to reach the Worcester area, then Droitwich Spa, that when I reached the Smethwick area, the shock of finding two of these overcame me....

I have edited my previous posting to read Smethwick Galton Bridge Station.
