Photo by Geoffrey Skelsey  Viewed northwards from platform 7 towards Wolverhampton the scale of the wreck is clear. There are some 200 cars on the site, probably carrying less than the load of a single train. Photo by Geoffrey Skelsey   Looking south form platform 8 with cars now parked on the former through lines. The hoardings on the right hand side were to guide passengers from the Langley Green and Wolverhampton trains out onto Livery Street and possibly shield their eyes from the wreck that the station had become.
