Trains to Ledbury - Station Details and further Information on Ledbury Train Services
Ledbury station is a small train station on the outskirts of the town of Ledbury on the Worcester to Hereford line in the English Midlands. It also has services to Birmingham as well as Cotswold Line trains to London.
The station is the only section of double track, where trains travelling in opposite directions can pass each other, between Shelwick junction, near Hereford and the portal of Colwall New Tunnel near Great Malvern. The single-track Ledbury tunnel, immediately to the east of the station, was notorious among steam locomotive crews for its bad atmosphere, the result of its unusually narrow bore combined with a steep gradient.
Ledbury is typically served Monday to Saturday by one train per hour in each direction between Birmingham New Street and Hereford, with extra trains in the evening peak on weekdays. Some early morning and late evening trains start/terminate at Worcester Shrub Hill instead of Birmingham New Street. This service is reduced to three trains per day on Sundays.
There are also four southbound and five northbound trains each weekday between Hereford and London Paddington that call at Ledbury. This is reduced to four trains each way on Saturdays and five northbound and three southbound trains per day on Sundays. |
