The Wombourne branch (also known as the Wolverhampton and Kingswinford Railway) [1][2] was a railway situated in the West Midlands, England. It branched from the Great Western Railway's Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton line at Kingswinford Junction to the north of Brettell Lane railway station and joined the same company's Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton line at the triangular Oxley Junction on the north-western approach to Wolverhampton Low Level.
