The Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway (OW&WR) was a railway company in England. It built a line from Wolvercot Junction near Oxford to Worcester, Stourbridge, Dudley and Wolverhampton, along with several branches. It was known locally as the Old Worse and Worse, both for the perpetual mismanagement that gave the line a poor public reputation and for the pun on its own initials.
