[edit] Route

The initial paragraph of the article currently reads:

"Darlaston Loop was a railway which connected the townships of Willenhall and Wednesbury and was so named because it passed through the township of Darlaston."

It doesn't connect Willenhall to anything, as the junctions are the wrong way around. It really connects the Grand Junction line to the South Staffordshire Line, as it leaves the GJ just south of Darlaston James Bridge railway station, and joins the South Staffordshire Line at Wednesbury Town station.

It can't really be said to join anywhere to anywhere else, really, just being a bypass of the direct connection between the two lines.
