wonder if any more sutton park line stations are going to come if aldridge and castle bromwich are coming back, sutton town is one i could see re-opening maybe bromford and streetly as well. sutton park & penn are probably more unlikely

Appearing to be banning vehicular access.
Have you looked at this on Google? I don't see many vehicles accessing a railway station up there.

I walk along it everyday!

I asked Eddie Hughes on Facebook (I know!) some time back, if there was going to be a rear entrance onto the industrial estate where I work from the station & he said yes at the time.

Our company recently had one of those Survey Monkey things, & one of the questions was asking whether we were likely to use the station or not!

June WMR times downloaded to RTT overnight - Shrewsbury services go half hourly, a semi-fast calling at Galton Bridge, Wolverhampton, Shifnal, Telford and Wellington and a slow train via Soho Road calling at Tame Bridge Parkway, "Service Stop Unadvertised" at Darlaston and Willenhall going north, but a "performance allowance" the other way, then all stations - commuters to the other wayside stations aren't going to be pleased as this applies all day so they lose their rush-hour additionals as well as longer journey times.
