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 A proposal for a new station serving Bridgtown and Churchbridge was withdrawn in 2005 due to lack of funding. Bridgtown is served by Chaserider bus service 1 to Huntington, Cannock and Great Wyrley.
