South Staffordshire Line 2023

            The South Staffordshire line is a partially mothballed and former mainline that connects Burton-upon-Trent to Lichfield and formerly then to the West Midlands towns of Walsall, Wednesbury, Dudley and Stourbridge; (opened in 1850).

Freight used the northern section of the line after closure to passengers and continued to do so until the section from Angelsea Sidings to Ryecroft Junction was closed to all traffic when the last train ran along the line 1984 and the track being lifted two years later. A stub from Angelsea Sidings to Lichfield City continued to see usage to serve an oil terminal at Newtown, Brownhills until 2001, when the stub was closed and mothballed by Network Rail.

The section from Lichfield to Burton is still open for freight traffic and depot returning trains. The line sees one passenger service a week though is used for diversions.
