The Chase Line railway from Rugeley to Walsall passes the south of Bridgtown over the M6 Toll and A5, with the nearest station at Cannock. A proposal for a new station serving Bridgtown and Churchbridge was withdrawn in 2005 due to lack of funding.[2] Bridgtown is served by frequent bus services to Cannock, Birmingham, Great Wyrley and Walsall.
