Note.

The two stations seem to share a simple design.

Both stations have a step-free bridge with lifts.

Darlaston station has a good-sized car park.

Willenhall station’s car park appears to be still being landscaped.

Neither station appears to have solar roofs. On roofs like these at Denmark Hill Station, they have been fitted, which I wrote about in Denmark Hill Station – 4th September 2021.
