Approval tipped for new railway stations
Planning applications for two railway stations on the Walsall to Wolverhampton line have been recommended for approval.The new stations at Darlaston and Willenhall would offer communities improved connections to Wolverhampton, Walsall and Birmingham New Street if permission is granted by Walsall Council at a virtual meeting of its planning committee on Thursday 15 October.The original stations in Darlaston and Willenhall closed in 1965 and only through trains have used the line since then.The project is being led by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), and the West Midlands Rail Executive (WMRE) working in close collaboration with the Department for Transport, Network Rail, West Midlands Railway, Walsall Council and the City of Wolverhampton Council.
