Press release -
Rail upgrades taking place at Worcester Shrub Hill this weekend
Key upgrades to improve safety and reliability are set to take place at Worcester Shrub Hill station this weekend.
Teams from Network Rail will make essential improvements to the footbridge and canopies at the station, as well as improving track drainage in the area. This upgrade work will help keep the railway safe and reliable for years to come.
Passengers using the station this weekend are being warned of changes to their journeys while the work takes place.
Network Rail has worked with train operating companies to keep disruption to a minimum. However, during the upgrades on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 November no services will run to or from Worcester Shrub Hill.
Journeys for West Midlands Railway and Great Western Railway customers will take longer than usual with bus replacement services in operation and changes to the timetable on both days.
Martin Colmey, operations director for Network Rail Central route, said: “These essential station and track upgrades will improve journeys for passengers and help keep the railway safe and reliable. We know there is never a good time to close the railway but this work has been carefully planned to keep disruption to a minimum and we thank passengers for their patience while we do the work.
“If you're planning to travel, please plan ahead allowing extra time for your journey and check before you travel for the latest journey information and travel advice.”
Passengers should check www.nationalrail.co.uk or with their train operator for the latest journey information and travel advice.
