The remains of the Former Bilston Branch to Millerhill South Junction. Technically only mothballed and not fully abandoned although if this bit was to ever be brought back into service it would obviously take a fair bit of work. Up until only a few years ago there was power to all the signals which were lit red, but it’s been vandalised and cables and equipment stolen. Last train over it I believe was about 30 years ago. It’s been removed from the signallers workstation for at least a decade and just basically forgotten about, except for dog walkers and neds. Added in 2 drawings I found with the layout for reference.

The driver absolutely scudded the bridge with the cherry picker, completely wiping out the height signs on the bridge itself. Second photo from Google maps showing how it normally is.
