Penn Halt railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Penn Halt was the smallest of all stops on the Wombourne Branch Line. It was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1925 and closed in 1932. The line was single track and thus the halt was a single platform. It suffered from poor patronage, as with all the stations on the branch. This may have been, in part, due to the somewhat strange positioning of the station by GWR.

This is the only station on the line that has absolutely no trace of its existence today.
