RMweb Gold franciswilliamwebb Posted March 23, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2023 A DMU calls at Swan Village station, West Bromwich, circa 1960. Swan Village was situated on the GWR main line from Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level. The train is heading in the Birmingham direction and in the distance can be seen Hill Top tunnel, beyond which lies Wednesbury and the route to Wolverhampton.
