It's well worth visiting Bordesley Station on maps.nls.com.
Also, as an aside, much taken with the name of the lock above the (moved) Sandy Lane Lock. Seeing "Hen's Row Lock" has made the day better.

I never knew any of the Camp Hill Flight had individual names!
Must admit I did have to scratch around to find that one.

I could have sworn there were more than one service on a match day
When I have returned home starting here there have been a number of services available

Possibly the case and it would make sense of the numbers.

Over 15,000 ticketed journeys a year with just 52 trains calling is pretty good going - over 250 journeys per train - have I got something wrong there?

From Birmingham World
A consultation to close Birmingham’s ‘ghost’ railway station which delivers one service a week to St Andrews is set to get underway.
Rail bosses confirmed a formal process to close Bordesley Railway Station will start in late spring and early summer, as part of the major Midlands Rail Hub project.
The station hosts one service a week on a Saturday to help football fans get to St Andrews for Birmingham City home games. Other football specials are put on when Blues are playing home games at other times.
