Lost Lines: Birmingham to Worcester

The 32-mile railway from Birmingham Snow Hill to Worcester Shrub Hill is still an important line in the lives of many West Midlands travellers. Its route through Birmingham’s north-western suburbs to the industrial heartlands of the Black Country and, finally, to towns and villages south of Stourbridge, mirrors the three phases of its construction. In words and pictures, this book describes the line’s development and the services it supported before the modern railway took shape.
