The Chase Line railway from Rugeley to Walsall passes through the parish, with the nearest stations at Cannock and Landywood. A proposal for a new station serving Bridgtown and nearby Churchbridge was withdrawn in 2005 due to lack of funding.[1] Bridgtown is served by frequent bus services to Cannock, Great Wyrley and Walsall.
