Small Heath Railway Station

There are a few stations like Small Heath dotted around Birmingham. Sad to say that they’re all as unloved and fallen into disrepair as each other.
Small Heath exists in the same vain as stations such as Duddeston, Kings Norton and Northfield; once quite big stations which now only serve the few local trains that pass through (Kings Norton and Northfield have more regular trains, but Small Heath and Duddeston have a fair share speeding straight through).
Of the four platforms Small Heath once had, only two are now in use. These serve trains heading towards Birmingham Moor Street and Snow Hill (roughly 5 – 10 minutes away) in one direction and Stratford-​Upon-​Avon or Solihull in the other. As is the case with old stations such as these, the long platforms are completely open aside from a small shelter.
I had to commute to Small Heath for a job a few years back. It was little more than a patch of concrete to get a train from then and it’s still the same now, only with more weeds.
