Extending at the top of the garden

At the top of the garden the ground drops away so the plan is that the railway will pass over a short viaduct and a bridge (recycled from the Sandwell Valley Railway) before entering Stoke Prior Station. This will be the end of the double track section. From Stoke Prior Station the single track branch line will descend on a spiral and then pass under the bridge on the double track main line.
