The new Bromsgrove station opened to passengers following a multi-million pound investment effort. The new railway station has been developed by Worcestershire County Council, the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and Network Rail, with construction contractor Buckingham Group. It has cost £24m (EUR 28.5m) to design and build.
Passengers will benefit from a range of improved facilities which includes a staffed ticket office, passenger waiting room and 350 onsite car parking spaces. An external concourse will link passengers to the car parking areas along with new bus stops, a taxi rank, pedestrian footpaths and a cycle store.
The station is fully accessible to all users and has the capacity to handle 800,000 passengers per year. The longer platforms will allow additional rail services to stop at Bromsgrove in the future. In addition, the new station facilities and better integration with local bus services make it easier for passengers to use the train to travel between Bromsgrove and Birmingham and Worcester.
