About Chasewater Railway

 

We are located in Chasewater Country Park, just off the southbound A5 at Brownhills West and the Railway is conveniently placed for visitors from every part of the country.

The Railway is rapidly gaining recognition as one of the major visitor attractions within the Walsall, Lichfield & Cannock areas. With its policy of low-cost fares and membership fees, it offers excellent value for money for railway enthusiasts and other visitors alike.

The Railway operates passenger trains from its headquarters at Brownhills West to Chasetown, with intermediate stations at Norton Lakeside and Chasewater Heaths. A round trip of nearly 4 miles takes about 45 minutes. Day Rover tickets offer unlimited travel on all trains operating on the day of issue.

All of our trains, stations and other facilities (including the tea room and museum) are accessible for visitors with mobility difficulties.

We run both steam and diesel services throughout the year with special eents, galas and our popular Santa specials.

Chasewater Railway and Surrounding Area

We operate nearly 4 miles of track circumnavigating Chasewater, a canal feeder reservoir opened in 1797 as Norton Pool. Part of our route lies on the trackbed of the former Midland Railway’s branch from Aldridge through Brownhills to service the collieries that once operated in the area.
