South Staffordshire Line : ウィキペディア英語版 | South Staffordshire Line
The South Staffordshire Line is a railway line that once connected Lichfield in Staffordshire, England with Dudley, formerly in Worcestershire. However, it joined the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway's line just north of Dudley Station, where it, in essence, continued to Stourbridge, in Worcestershire (Dudley and Stourbridge were later to become part of the West Midlands conurbation). The section south of Round Oak remains open for freight workings only, and is now officially referred to as the South Staffordshire Line. The line was built by the South Staffordshire Railway. On 12 July 2013, in a suspected terrorist attack, a bomb was believed to have been detonated on the disused section of the line in Tipton, at Binfield Street, near Sedgley Road.〔http://www.itv.com/news/story/2013-07-12/explosion-outside-mosque-in-tipton-sest-midlands/〕 ==The original line and route== The line officially began at Wychnor Junction, north of Lichfield, and ran through what is now Lichfield Trent Valley. Trains then continued through to Lichfield City itself. From there, a plethora of stations along the route were served. The line continued through to Walsall and a low-level station at Dudley Port. This was technically the terminus of the line but it was connected to the OW&WR's line and then ran through Dudley itself from 1860. It went on to serve other stations before eventually terminating at the south-western extremity of the Black Country at Stourbridge Junction.
