Were the connections between Wolverhampton Low Level and Stafford Road Junction + Bushbury Junctions removed when / soon after the north of WLL passenger services ceased in 1968 (e.g. Shrewsbury services )? i.e. Did Low Level become a dead end with access for passenger and freight only from the south?
I understand that a passenger service operated from BSH (and BMS?) up as far as WLL until 1972. Also that the line from BSH to Wednesbury was closed in 1972. Access from then on must then have been from the Wednesbury chord off the Walsall to Stourbridge line. I've read that freight beyond Bilston to Low Level finally ceased in 1983 and that Wednesbury to Bilston ceased from 1992.
I recall the former GW links from Bushbury and Stafford Road being connected by a new chord in "recent times" to allow freight movements between the north (Penkridge) and west (Codsall) but they obviously didn't connect to Low Level at that time.
Many thanks.
