Dist:0.4km<br/>The low level northbound platform at Lichfield Trent Valley station with a Class 350 electric multiple unit No 350111 calling with a London Midland semi-fast service. In the distance a northbound Virgin Pendolino express approaches on the fast lines. The bridge carries the high level lines and a terminus platform for the 'Cross City Line'.

Dist:0.4km<br/>View southward, towards Rugby and London on West Coast Main Line. Electrication is heralded already by overhead gantries and a nascent colour-light signal, as LMS 'Jubilee' 6P No. 45603 'Solomon Islands' enters Lichfield Trent Valley station on a Down Class C fast freight train.

Dist:0.4km<br/>View NW, towards Stafford, Crewe etc. on the West Coast Main Line. Rebuilt 'Royal Scot' 7P 4-6-0 No. 46156 'The South Wales Borderer' is heading a Manchester (London Road) to Euston express which stopped here. This was another major station where the Fast lines passed between the platform lines. The line from Birmingham New Street via Walsall to Burton-on-Trent passed overhead (behind the camera) at the High Level Station. (The Station Inspector is prominent on this occasion).
