Sutton Coldfield Town Station sat on the Sutton Park line between Penns and Sutton Park Stations - situated just at the top of the town centre on Midland Drive - see OS map below - Sutton Coldfield station (the one still in use) is top left - Sutton Park station is just off the top of the map:-

The station closed in 1924 - the up station platform building is still in use today as offices and is beautifully preserved:-

If you do a little "urban exploring" however - you can get to the other side of the line - this is where the Sutton Park line crosses over the Cross-City line going into Sutton Coldfield station - Sutton Town station is just off-picture to the left:-
