Stafford Up side: Stafford South Junction approaching Trent Valley Junction No.1
The Up side of Stafford looks a bit of a mess really - seen from our Virgin Trains Pendolino (390 123). We are heading for the Up Birmingham lines. According to my most recent Trackmaps Railway Track Diagrams (Midlands & North West) there should be 4 running lines (UF, DF, US & DS) and 2 Arrival roads (No's 1 & 2 - with No.2 ending about here) looking at this point. But its hard to make-out where the connection is, in fact there are 3 electrified sidings here (or used to be here, perhaps there is no track for some!).
