Brownhills West is a village on the border of the West Midlands and Staffordshire.
It is located on the south bank of Chasewater reservoir,[1] and Brownhills West railway station is the southern terminus of the Chasewater Railway.[2] While the original Brownhills West (Midland Railway) railway station was on the Aldridge to Brownhills Branch line until it was closed in 1965 and the station was moved to the current Chasewater station site due to the original station being cut through by the M6 Toll Way in 2003.
