THE Stourbridge Shuttle is back in action after major works on the famous Stourbridge branch line - the first upgrade of the track since 1902. Over the past two months, the branch line - the shortest in the UK (possibly in Europe) - has been undergoing major modernisation works. With new railway track, new sleepers and new ballast, the entire route between Stourbridge Town and Stourbridge Junction railway stations has been significantly upgraded to ensure train services can run effectively, frequently, and smoothly. Overseen by Network Rail, the works mark the first total renewal of the track, which is just over three quarters of a mile long, in around 120 years.
