The line from Birmingham Snow Hill to Cheltenham is 55 miles long, and also includes a short branch off to Cheltenham St James. Most of the line nowadays is intact, with Snow Hill to Stratford being part of the national network, Stratford Racecourse to Long Marston being the Stratford Greenway walking route, with bike hire available from a pair of Mk1's at Stratford, and a Cafe housed inside a Mk2a at Milcote station. Long Marston to Honeybourne is still open, but freight only, Honeybourne to Broadway being derelict after which 11 miles of the track is occupied by the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire heritage railway. The final 2 miles into Cheltenham is mostly a walking path, with Cheltenham St James having been turned into a Waitrose supermarket.
