The Severn Valley Railway served a number of [[Collieries served by the Severn Valley Railway | collieries]] in the Wyre Forest Coalfield, which was largely centred in and around the Forest.
After crossing the river at [[Dowles Bridge]], the [[Wyre Forest Line | Tenbury & Bewdley Railway]] ran through the centre of the Forest, and was therefore often referred to as the “Wyre Forest Line”. The disused trackbed is now part of [[National Cycle Route 45]]. [[Wyre Forest Line#Wyre Forest | Wyre Forest station]] was situated towards the western edge of the Forest.
The SVR does not enter the Wyre Forest, although the Forest can be seen across the Severn from the railway, in particular between [[Northwood Halt]] and [[Victoria Bridge]].
