Saltley railway station

[Colroy07]

In the 1970s I worked as a second man at Saltley shed. Whilst there I managed see some old brickwork from the old station. (Track side ).
Spend a lot of time rostered on the shunt engine. Also in the 1960 s lived in dolman street and we would walk to alum rock to go shopping. I did post the old station picture when I first joined in 2006 . But the site went down in 2010 and could never sign in on my original name. And all my old post are no longer on here.

Tried many times early 60s to train spot on the platform but seem to remember we weren't very welcome, went and bunked the sheds instead. Lived on Washwood Heath Road until late 1962.

I only really remember it as a hole in the wall. Never seen many people going down to the station. But it was closed down when I was 6 so don’t remember a lot . Only walking past it.
