The Tenbury Railway, which was backed (and later operated) by the Shrewsbury & Hereford Railway) was authorised in 1859. It ran for only about five miles, from the Shrewsbury & Hereford main line at Wooferton to Tenbury Wells. The line opened in 1861. In 1862, it became a jointly run GWR/ LNWR line, when those two companies jointly leased the Shrewsbury & Hereford Railway. The line continued to operate for nearly a hundred more years, but closed to passenger traffic in 1961 and completely in 1963. <4>
