Withymoor Goods Yard
Withymoor Goods Yard was a railway goods yard situated in Netherton, West Midlands, England. It opened in 1879 at the termination of a branch line which connected it with the newly opened Bumble Hole Line.
Closure
[edit]The goods yard closed in 1964, as a result of the Beeching Axe, though the Bumble Hole Line remained open until 1968.

Footpath
[edit]A short length of the former line is now a footpath linking Netherton Park with Northfield Road. The Greaves Road bridge over the former line still stands at the edge of Netherton Park.
