Any news on when the work to upgrade Worcester Foregate Street Station is to start , also the same with Malvern Link Station.

I think the work at Malvern Link may have already started?

As the linked page points out, how very appropriate for Shrub Hill. I wonder what Flowery Fields is like ...

My memories of Shrub Hill 1972-76 was that it was run down grubby and had  acres of buddleia grandiflora. A walk from there down to Lowesmoor in the past year demonstrated that absolutely nothing had changed in the last 40 years !

Passed Shrub Hill by road (on my way to a local builder's merchants) the other day; surprised to realise that it is actually rather a grand-looking building. Its setting does it absolutely no favours though; the ugly sixties building that stands in front of it is typical of an era when everything was turning its back on rail.

Unfortunately Worcester Shrub Hill Station seems to be trapped in the land that time forgot, no wonder the American visitor I met at the station thought it was a heritage railway!! It seems that any railway upgrade work stops short of Worcester! Lets all hope that one day it has a major track and signal upgrade to make it a place to be proud of.

I called at Shrub Hill Station today, a group of people were looking at the inside and outside of the old waiting room on platform no2 ! could be plans to renovate and reopen it for public use are in the pipe line ? It does look a bit sorry for itself a the moment ! Otherwise could it not be cut up and moved to a museum site. Then Shrub Hills platform 2 could have a waiting room passengers can use !
