Council Grants Permission For New £22m Railway Station

Worcestershire County Council has granted planning permission for a new £22m railway station.

Groundwork for the Worcestershire Parkway Regional Interchange Railway Station, which will link the Cotswolds and Birmingham to Bristol lines, is scheduled to begin by spring of next year.

The station will be located outside of Worcester City, close to Junction 7 of the M5 near Norton.

It will be comprised of a single platform on the Worcester to London line and two platforms on the Birmingham to Bristol line, along with a new station building.

It will also have 500 car parking spaces (including disabled provision), bus stops, a taxi rank and a passenger drop-off area.

Last year, the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) allocated £7.5m from the Worcestershire Local Growth Deal towards a new station.

The remainder of the funds is expected to come from the county council, eventually to be recouped through car park and station access charges levied on the train operating companies.
