Worcestershire Parkway is closer than ever according to local transport officials. The station, which is expected to cost £17.1m is currently awaiting a decision with regards to a funding bid from the Local Enterprise Partnership to the government.
The station would give Worcestershire access to the Crosscountry railway network, which currently passes through the county without stopping due to the lack of suitable places to stop.
The station was one of the proposals that was not successful when it sough funding from the New Stations Fund.
