County’s first new station for over 100 years to open next Sunday

Worcestershire’s first new railway station for over 100 years opens next weekend. Passengers can travel to and from Parkway from Sunday 23rd February.

Worcestershire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Economy and Infrastructure, Councillor Ken Pollock, said: ”I am delighted to announce the opening of Worcestershire Parkway on behalf of the County Council. The station is set to transform rail travel to and from the county and not only that, it looks great as well.

“I’d like to thank all those involved in making this station, which has been talked about for over 30 years, a reality. Without the County Council’s ambition for this station to be built to better serve our residents and businesses, the station would not exist.”

Worcestershire Parkway is a key part of the County Council’s commitment to improve rail infrastructure around the county. Better rail connectivity allows easier travel into and out of the county, supporting the business and leisure economy. 

This brand new station follows improvements already made at Bromsgrove, Foregate Street in Worcester, Malvern Link and Kidderminster. 

Users of the station will benefit from easy access from the B4084 and a 500 space car park with reasonable charges. Those arriving at the station by bike will experience a much-improved cycle way from Woodbury Lane and plenty of cycle parking including a two-tier bike rack near platform 2.

The station will also help to remove traffic from the county’s main roads and motorways. Currently there are many commuters that drive the entire journey or drive to larger stations out of county. They do this to access better parking facilities and faster services to major cities. With its 500 space carpark and fast services to Cardiff and London Paddington, many of these commuters will now choose to travel from Worcestershire Parkway.
