Telephoto shot looking south from Searchlight Lane towards Stafford. This section has been connected up early to allow trains to bring in heavy materials, and minimise road lorry movements. There will be two tracks here: on the left the Up Line from Stone, on the right the Down Slow from which splits the Down line to Stone. In the distance can be seen the junction with the four-track WCML, this is temporary at the moment. The final layout here at Little Bridgeford Jn will see the Down Slow via Norton Bridge completely removed and replaced by the new straighter alignment; the only set of points will be for the Up Stone to join the Up Slow.
