North of Birmingham

to Bescot and Litchfield including the Chase Water 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.
