Branch Line from Langley Rail Station (Disused - but all tracks still in situ)

The station was about three quarters of a mile from Langley Green on a branch line that was opened by the G.W.R. on 7th November 1884. The line continued beyond Oldbury station to Oldbury Goods Depot.

Passenger services ceased on 3rd March 1915 and Oldbury Goods Depot was closed 7th September 1964.

After this date all that remained in use was about half a mile to the Albright & Wilson chemical works. Rail traffic to the chemical works ceased in the 1980s.
