Chasewater Railway

Chasewater Railway The Chasewater Railway operates heritage steam and diesel trains. It is located in Chasewater Country Park, at Brownhills West.

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 excellent offers value for money for railway enthusiasts and other visitors alike.

The Railway operates passenger trains from is headquarters at Brownhills West to Chasetown (Church Street), with intermediate stations at Norton Lakeside and Chasewater Heaths (adjacent to the Burntwood Bypass). 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.

Ample free parking is provided at Brownhills West and Chasewater Heaths Stations, which both offer refreshment facilities and gift/book shops. All trains and stations are accessible to wheelchair users and other visitors with mobility difficulties. Bicycles and dogs (on a lead) can travel free of charge.

2004 saw the opening of the new Heritage Centre at Brownhills West. Powered by solar energy panels, the Heritage Centre (was part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund) incorporates a small museum area and will accommodate the Railway's historic, unique, wooden-bodied carriages.
