The Great Western Railway opened a branch line from Wolverhampton to Stourbridge via Wombourne in 1925. Seven years later it was closed to passengers, though freight ran into the 1960s. Here, looking towards Wolverhampton,it is now used as a leisure walk, connecting with Smestow Valley Nature Reserve, and the South Staffordshire Railway walk towards Kingswinford.
