25259 at the head of Trip 74 (Bescot to Washwood Heath) sets back into the GPO depot at Sutton Park via the down loop, in order to detach a parcels van, 3rd November 1975. The mail centre lost it's rail connection in the early 1990s but still exists as a Royal Mail sorting depot.
Note the fairly intact old station platforms, of which one (the island platform on the right) still exists.

Very nice photo, a perfect example of the folly of the transport policies of this country. More enlightened times await...
Superb, awesome. Wish I had took it. That rat graced the scrap line at Bescot into the early 90s.
