Title: Wolverhampton station news Post by: infoman on November 14, 2021, 19:05:25 1)Made a trip to Wolverhampton on Sunday 14 november
Very difficult to get to and from Wolverhampton to/from Birmingham due what was called a leaf cleaning train had derailed and had struck a over head stantion bringing down the wires. All over head wired trains were NOT calling at Wolverhampton, a local hourly service was operating On my arrival at Wolverhampton everything was cancelled so I took a chance on taking the X8,never again on that one hour journey across the west Midlands As the the trams had been suspended so I had no option. 2)Tickets gates have now been installed at the station approx five weeks ago I think that leaves just Sheffield as the largest station in England that does not have ticket gates.
