I have been looking at this line on Google Maps and I noticed that the line passes the Royal Mail depot in Sutton Coldfield. I know from visiting that place several times that there is a disused railway station there. Is this included in the list of stations? If not, is there a reason why it isn't?

Is it Sutton Park? – Tivedshambo (talk) 13:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I doubt it because it is quite a distance from Sutton Park. Also, the station is not a passenger station by the looks of it. There are two or three loading bays on the side opposite the tracks. - Erebus555 13:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

See this website. The Royal Mail terminal is on the site of the Sutton Park station goods shed.  – Tivedshambo (talk) 17:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I stand corrected :-). Just seems like an odd place to put the Sutton Park station when it actually isn't in Sutton Park. But then again, the Royal Mail depot is new so it is possible that the park did extend that far in the past. Thanks! - Erebus555 17:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
