The End of the Line at Chasewater Railway!!!

No this isn't a joke, we are actually talking about the end of our line. We are pleased to announce that we now have a working partnership with Burntwood RUFC located.....you guessed it, at the Chasetown (Church Street) end of the line.

Passengers purchasing a ticket to travel on our trains will receive a days membership (valid on the day of purchase) to the rugby club enabling the purchase of discounted drinks at the bar.
So why not catch a train, enjoy a refreshing drink at the bar before boarding your carriage back to Brownhills?
Or... we have another great option. Tickets for travel can now be purchased from the Rugby Club Bar, with free parking at the club for customers why not start your journey at Chasetown (Church Street)

With even more facilities for you and the family to enjoy at Brownhills West, Chasewater Heaths and now Chasetown (Church Street), it's just another fantastic reason to come for a visit to Chasewater Railway and our friends in the Country Park.
