The Tenbury and Bewdley Railway, informally 'The Wyre Forest Line' or 'The Tenbury Line', ran north from the GWR station at [[Bewdley]] on a single line track alongside the Severn Valley Line for a distance of about a mile before diverging to the west to cross the river Severn at [[Dowles Bridge]], the remains of which are visible from the train. The abutments where the line passed over what is now the B4194 remain in-situ. The line continued to [[Woofferton ]] via [[Wyre Forest]], [[Cleobury Mortimer]], [[Neen Sollars]], [[Newnham Bridge]], [[Tenbury Wells ]] and [[Easton Court]].
After the GWR built 'The Loop' linking [[Kidderminster ]] to Bewdley, the majority of Kidderminster to Bewdley services continued on the Wyre Forest Line.
The Wyre Forest Line closed in various stages between 1961 and 1964.
