Bewdley to Woofferton Disused Railway Part 1 

I miss .my dear friend Malcom, he's never forgotten. He loved making these videos. 😭💙

I lived in Buildwas cottage as a child, across from the abbey and remember the trains. I would always wave at the train when it when past. So loved living there.

This is an exceptionally beautiful part of the country made all the more-so with the steam train passing along the line. I've never been to the Wyre Forest, but have every intention of doing so after seeing this video.

Very good exploration of one of my favourite lost lines. As a child, I have many memories of walking sections of this line. I particularly remember, as a five-year-old, walking over the road bridge over the Highley road near Bewdley and the next bridge into the Wyre Forest. These bridges stood until September 1978.

Holden, very good, I climbed up on the west side of Dowels bridge 25 years ago, good view, looking forward to part two Regards Peter.

originaly a swindonian so love my railways i have to be honest your videos are awesome!

Excellent video really enjoyed it and looking forward to part two.

hi great videos loads of information wear I leave in London there are loads of disused railway lines and underground stations

On a visit to the SVR last week and going into Bewdley from the north, I caught sight of what looked like the remains of bridge piers. I thought I must investigate that further. I happened upon your excellent videos and there it was - Dowles Bridge on the Bewdley to Woofferton railway. Thank you. I enjoyed this video and the others very much. Keep up the very good work!

I have seen a few or your films and am impressed. Keep up the good work!

I saw the remains of the wofferton line whilst I was on the train on the seven valley railway

There is a lot more of this section that is perfectly walkable. There is a lot you missed, including a large viaduct over the Rea, near Neen Sollars. Nearby is a similar viaduct, originally constructed to carry the defunct canal. Both well worth a shufty :-)

Hello! I first saw the bridges near Bewdley when a group of my fellow Brummie students and I went to Bewdley for a Sunday afternoon drive (my auto-correct keeps changing Bewdley to bawdily, some form of Freudian slip, I suppose). I also found a photo of Neen Sollars station at a railway preservation centre. My interest was confirmed. I congratulate you on a deeply, not to say painstakingly, researched video on the line. As one now living in Toronto, I don't think I will ever get to walk the branch myself - your filming more than makes up for that. Look forward to your next one!

Such a pity they took that bridge down was lovely

Good video

My brother and I visited this yesterday. The height of the embankments is impressive. It is unfortunate that the whole length is not opened up, it ought to be.

excellent video holden.

Cool video :)

Very much enjoyed the video I will be checking this out soon!

🚂👍

We would take the train from Buildwas to Much Wenlock to visit rellies.

Really look forward to you video's

Sadly missed, sleep well

Bewdley Station wouldn't have changed much because it was on an under invested line and went from British Rail to preservation line almost overnight. I'm old enough to remember when a diesel railcar ran the triangle line between Kidderminster, Hartlebury, Stourport, Bewdley, and back to Kidderminster.
