Midland Main Lines

North of Birmingham

to Bescot and Lichfield including the Chasewater Railway

by Vic Mitchell
The former Midland Railway from Brownhills to Water Orton is visited first. Next, we travel on one of Britain's first main lines, the Grand Junction Railway's route between Bescot and Aston.
Finally, we journey from Birmingham New Street to Lichfield Trent Valley, with views both old and new.
