I know its footy 2 days running but as our youth team were playing the  B'ham County FA Youth Cup final at Birmingham City's ground St Andrews they had to be the shot,sadly we were soundly beaten by a strong B'ham development side,however we came away knowing that the hospitality at Castlecroft is way better than St Andrews

Friday may 11th 2012 -Unused Utility

Bit of a social comment in what is basically an uninspiring shot,this is a freight only line connected to the Worcester Birmingham that runs past Merry Hill a huge out of town shopping centre,Merry hill (or Hell) as it is known locally causes gridlock at many busy times of the year so why not at little expense make a Merry Hill station and USE THIS BLOODY RAILWAY
