Trains to Worcester - Station Details and further Information on Worcester Foregate Street Train Services
Worcester Foregate Street train station is situated in the centre of the city of Worcester, in Worcestershire, England. It is physically the smaller of the two stations serving the city, the other being Worcester Shrub Hill which is situated to the east. Its layout is a little unusual in that the two platforms are bi-directional i.e. the station effectively serves two parallel single lines. In addition the station itself is on a viaduct. Despite its small size, the remains of two signal boxes can be seen, one spanning the tracks and the second now the station cafe.
Of Worcester's two stations, Foregate Street is the more centrally located with easy access to shops and taxis, and is a five minutes walk to the bus station.
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 via two different routes, either direct to Birmingham New Street (via Bromsgrove), or via Kidderminster to Birmingham Snow Hill.
First Great Western operate a service to London Paddington via the Cotswold Line and Oxford, a service to Bristol Temple Meads via Gloucester, and a twice-daily service to Southampton Central. Both companies have services which continue beyond Worcester to the two Malvern stations of Malvern Link and Great Malvern, and on to Hereford. |
