Tenbury & Bewdley Railway

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Tenbury and Bewdley Railway was a railway that ran between Tenbury Wells in Shropshire to Bewdley in Worcestershire, England.

From Bewdley it ran north from the GWR station on a single line track alongside the Severn Valley Railway for a distance of about a mile before diverging to the west to cross the river Severn at Dowles Bridge. The intermediate stations were Wyre Forest, Cleobury Mortimer (Shropshire), Neen Sollars, Newnham Bridge, Tenbury Wells (Shropshire) (originally Tenbury), Easton Court and Woofferton.

A number of the station buildings survive in private hands. A number of them share similar architectural features to others in and around the Severn Valley area. For much of its working life it was operated by the Great Western Railway and subsequently the Western Region of British Railways.

The line closed to passengers on 1st August 1962 and for freight on 6th January 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe..
