Bescot Bridge Station edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

British History Online reckons that the site of the original Bescot Bridge station on the Grand Junction Railway was just up the road at the site of Wood Green station. Rail around Birmingham and the West Midlands reckons that Bescot Bridge station was located at the site of Bescot Stadium.

The earliest mapping I can find for the area is 1889, which is unhelpful, although Bescot Stadium is marked as "Bescot Junction" and appears to be off the beaten track a little, whilst Wood Green is on the main Walsall to Wednesbury road, which seems like a much more logical place to put an early station.

Does anyone know which source is correct? Fingerpuppet 05:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ive reverted recent edits by User:Redrose64 which say this station opened in in 1937, when that is the date for the nearby Wood Green station station. Sadly even otherwise good sources seem to conflate the two. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:02, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

We have 1990 for this in the body, but 1991 in the infobox. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:04, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
