Changes

The southern end majority of the former original OW&W route remains open , between Oxford and Stourbridge Junction, via Worcester Shrub Hill, [[Hartlebury]] and [[Kidderminster]]. North of Stourbridge, the line is used for freight services for a short distance, although beyond Round Oak (now the location of the Merry Hill Shopping Centre) it has been variously mothballed or closed. Passenger services to Birmingham Snow Hill and beyond continue via the former GWR line which bears to the right a short distance north of Stourbridge Junction.
