Traffic into the junction began to decline in the 1950s following closure of many local mines and collieries. The lines to Ryders Hayes, Brownhills and Hednesford closed in 1964 along with the entire junction.Present day
The entire site has been built on by housing and roads but some of the trackbed can still be followed as far as Pelsall and Brownhills.
