This title talks about: Barnt Green and Bromsgrove to Ashchurch; The Langley, Stourbridge and Worcester line; Worcester to Evesham and Honeybourne; Redditch to Evesham; Worcester to the Malverns and the Bromyard branch; Old Hill to Rubery; and Stourbridge to Dudley.

Originally part of the LNWR network, built to link industrial South Wales with the Midlands and the North, this superbly scenic line runs from Craven Arms to Swansea via Builth Road, Llanwrtyd Wells, Llandovery and Llandilo, and is a popular route for steam-hauled specials, featured among Roger Siviter's photographs.

Concentrating on the famous 16-mile preserved stretch, this book also looks at the whole of the original route from Shrewsbury to Kidderminster and Hartlebury, and on to Droitwich and Worcester. We also enjoy a glimpse of the connecting lines to Craven Arms, Wellington and Woofferton, including the delightful Cleobury Mortimer and Ditton Priors Light Railway.
