The Midland Railway route from Wolverhampton - Bob Yate

This route comprises three lines: Wolverhampton High Level to Walsall, Walsall to Water Orton (on the Midland Railway Birmingham-Derby line) and Aldridge to Brownhills. The authorisation, construction and operation of these lines are examined in detail up to closure and to the present day. Photographs and detailed maps illustrate the locations on each line. Also included are maps relating to proposed, but uncompleted lines. The many industrial lines connected to each line are also discussed and details of locomotives at work on these are listed in a separate appendix.
