Trains to Great Malvern - Station Details and further Information on Great Malvern Train Services
Great Malvern train station serves the line between Worcester and Hereford. It is situated close to the centre of Great Malvern, England. It is one of two stations serving the town of Malvern, the other being Malvern Link station. The station retains the original Victorian station design.
The station is served by two train operating companies: London Midland (who manage the station) and First Great Western. London Midland operate services to Birmingham New Street and Hereford. First Great Western operate services to London Paddington via the Cotswold Line and Oxford, and also to Taunton and Brighton and Portsmouth and Weymouth via Bristol Temple Meads. There was previously a branch line to Evesham via Tewkesbury which was closed just prior to the Beeching cuts.
Great Malvern station was opened by the Worcester & Hereford Railway in 1860 and the present buildings by architect E. W. Elmslie were completed in 1862. It was later absorbed by the Great Western Railway. The buildings are in local Malvern Rag stone and follow a French Gothic theme. A particular feature of the station are the awning pillar capitals on both platforms. They are decorated with high relief mouldings depicting different arrangements of flowers and foliage. |
