Wolverhampton:
The Great Western is something of a legend: It’s right next to the old low-level station and within a short walk of the current station on the West Coast Main line. It’s always popular: the beer and food are rightly famed, and on a Wolves match day it becomes standing room only, despite being a distance from the Molineux. Even on a non-match day, it can get crowded.
The place itself is only one room, but with nooks and crannies, and a large eating area and beer garden out the back. It’s full of railway memoraibilia, and has barely changed in the 15 or so years I’ve been dropping in.
