Plans
Gloucestershire County Council are currently proposing a new station called Gloucestershire Parkway railway station. Local fears were that this would severely impact services to Cheltenham Spa; as of 2006, the project is currently shelved.
The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway (which currently terminates at Cheltenham Racecourse some few miles away) intend (after a further couple of years) to eventually extend to a new heritage platform or two (next door to the mainline station), to where it could interchange with services on the Cross-Country Route which runs by.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“The human mind plans the way, but the LORD directs the steps.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:9.
“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
