<p>This time to Shirley Station, caught the 49 bus from the Stratford Road down Haslucks Green Road.
</p><p>Only came here so I could walk a section of the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal nearby.
</p><p>Shirley railway station serves Shirley area of Solihull  in the West Midlands of England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Midland.
</p><p>The station was built in 1908, complete with small goods yard with goods shed. However, this has since been removed (though a siding still exists) and the site taken over by E H Smith.

Didn't have time to get it from the road bridge above (by the time I got up there).
