Round Oak Steel Terminal

The terminal was opened on 21 August 1986, replacing the nearby Brierly Hill goods yard, and is situated on the former Oxford-Worcester-Wolverhampton Line north of Stourbridge Junction.

The line north of Stourbridge and south of Blowers Green railway station was closed pre-Beeching in 1962 except for freight traffic, and trains run to Round Oak Steel Terminal and the nearby Moor Lane Goods Yard.

A regeneration project will see the former Round Oak station become part of the local tram network with the line reopening between Walsall, Dudley Port, Dudley and the Merry Hill Shopping Centre for trams on one track and for freight on the other.

The freight trains would continue on past Brettel Lane station and on to the main line at Stourbridge Junction.

[1] The closed section of railway through Dudley is expected to re-open,[2] as a combined West Midlands Metro tramway and a heavy rail line for goods trains.
