Tenbury and Bewdley Railway Tenbury and Bewdley Railway The Tenbury and Bewdley Railway was a railway that ran from Bewdley in Worcestershire to Tenbury station which was in Shropshire, England. From Tenbury the railway continued to Woofferton via the Tenbury Railway; the route formed by the two railways sometimes being referred to as the Wyre Forest line or simply the Tenbury Line. The Tenbury and Bewdley Railway was authorised by Act of Parliament in 1860 to form a connection between the Tenbury Railway and the Severn Valley Railway, both railways then being under construction. Construction of the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway began in 1861
Tenbury and Bewdley Railway and Bewdley Railway were Wyre Forest, Cleobury Mortimer (Shropshire), Neen Sollars and Newnham Bridge. The Tenbury Railway began at Tenbury Wells (Shropshire) (originally Tenbury) and continued via Easton Court (serving Little Hereford) to Woofferton. Between Woofferton and Newnham the railway was largely built along the line of the disused Leominster Canal. In 1878 the GWR opened a loop line between Bewdley and Kidderminster. Most of the traffic from the Wyre Forest Line continued via this route, which was described in working timetables as the “Woofferton, Tenbury Wells, Bewdley and Kidderminster Branch”.
