In common with many articles with the suffix '''Line''' this article seems to think that it is synonymous with '''railway'''. The term Line is one used by the railway marketing people to sell the services running over particular routes. The railway lines (NB small 'l'!) over which the present-day Cotswold Line trains run were: Oxford-Worcester, part of the ''Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway'' (first Act of Parliament 1845); which took over the (''Worcester and Hereford Railway'', to become the ''West Midlands Railway'' in 1860). Latter amalgamated with the GWR in 1863. [[User:Peter Shearan|Peter Shearan]] 08:54, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC) |
