==History==
The line between Worcester and Stourbridge Junction was opened as part of the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway (OWWR), in 1852. The line between Stourbridge Junction and Birmingham Snow Hill was built by the Stourbridge Railway, and the Great Western Railway (GWR), and opened in 1867. By 1870, the entire route had come under the control of the GWR, later passing to British Railways in 1948.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://spellerweb.net/rhindex/UKRH/GreatWestern/Narrowgauge/StourbridgeRy.html )〕
