Halesowen Joint Railway

Halesowen Joint Railway

The Halesowen Joint Railway was a British pre-grouping railway company that opened a six mile line in 1883 in the Midlands. It later became a joint railway owned by the Midland Railway and the Great Western Railway.

The line was closed in 1964. The former station at Hunnington has been converted into a house and the other intermediate station at Rubery has been demolished. A short section of the line remains at the southern end to serve the Longbridge motor plant although there has been no traffic since 1995.
