The Gloucester Loop Line was a railway line, operated by the Midland Railway which ran from Ashchurch to Barnt Green via Redditch and Evesham, avoiding the main line via Bromsgrove. The line has been entirely dismantled, apart from the section from Redditch to Barnt Green, which forms the southern part of the Cross-City Line. The line was opened in 1866, services were withdrawn in 1962, the line was officially closed in 1964 and the track lifted in 1965.
