I think that 2m includes the building of a tunnel and that is the reason the station was closed and refurbed.

I think Tipton was the last level crossing on the WCML ?? could be wrong.

I think Tipton was the last level crossing on the WCML ?? could be wrong.
I think it was the last on the Rugby-Birmingham-Stafford section. A few were removed as part of the Trent Valley quadrupling and according to the Route 18 document:
Following the closure of Hademore level crossing, there are no longer any major level crossings on the WCML route between Euston and Hest Bank near Lancaster.
I think Tipton was the last level crossing on the WCML ?? could be wrong.
Would you class the Stour line as the WCML, surely it is a branch off? Tipton was the busiest LC in the country with the barriers down 79% of the time. so every hour the barriers were down for 47 minutes
