A relic from the LNWR, "Super-D" engine number 48930 is seen at Aldridge station in the mid-1950s. This loco was later utilised on an SLS tour of the West Midlands in June 1962.
A nice example of the old-style station lamp is on show, and also the diagonal slat fencing which was used by the Midland Railway, and can still be found in the undergrowth here, and at other closed station sites along the line such as Streetly, Sutton Park and Penns (the enclosed fencing shot was taken at the driveway to the former Sutton Park station recently).
