I am sure that I used to catch a diesel from New Street to Sutton Park, but cannot remember about 1960ish. Paul

Paul,
You would have been able to catch a train from New Street to Sutton Park station between 1879
when it opened, up until 1987, when it was closed.

The diesel service to Sutton Park, ended in 1965 when the through service Walsall- Birmingham via Castle Bromwich ceased. The Post Office retained a depot at Sutton which used to have a parcels service from Curzon Street.

The railway line is still there and open for freight traffic.

There is also some talk of a new station at Castle Bromwich
