Worcester Shrub Hill Railway Station - Services

Services

Worcester Shrub Hill is served by London Midland's services from Worcester to Birmingham, either directly to Birmingham New Street via Bromsgrove, or via Kidderminster to Birmingham Snow Hill and Birmingham Moor Street.

First Great Western operate about a dozen services a day to and from London Paddington, the majority of which are via the Cotswold Line and Oxford. Other services to and from London are via the Birmingham/Bristol (Cross Country Route), Gloucester/Swindon (Golden Valley Line) and London/Bristol (Great Western Main Line) lines. First Great Western also run services every 2 hours to Bristol Temple Meads via Cheltenham and Gloucester, these would then continue to Weymouth or Brighton.

First Great Western run services via Worcester Foregate Street to Great Malvern and Hereford. London Midland's service between Worcester and Gloucester via Ashchurch and Cheltenham to complement the 2-hourly First Great Western service was discontinued at the start of the December 2009 railway timetable due to low passenger usage.

Being the bigger of the two stations in Worcester, due to its sidings, Worcester Shrub Hill is often used as stabling point for goods trains and locomotives, as well as an overnight stop for some First Great Western rolling stock.
