Tenbury Railway Tenbury Railway The Tenbury Railway was a railway that ran between Woofferton and Tenbury station in Shropshire, England. Early in its history a through connection was made to the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway which continued to Bewdley in Worcestershire; the route formed by the two railways sometimes being referred to as the Wyre Forest line or simply the Tenbury Line. The Tenbury Railway opened in August 1861 as a 5 mile branch line connecting the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway (S&HR) at Woofferton to a terminus at Tenbury via an intermediate station at Easton Court. The line was operated by the
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”.
