Notable features affecting FGW region/services include:

*Service from Birmingham to Evesham possibly by extension of LM trains from Snow Hill line, which terminate at Shrub Hill;

*Worcester (Norton) Parkway blah blah;

*Henwick station, for west Worcester passengers;

*New track/signals for Worcester area;

*Refurbishment of Worcester Foregate Street;

*Stratford to Honeybourne line reinstated, with circular trains between Worcester- Birmingham - Stratford - Honeybourne - Worcester;

*Extension of trains from Gloucester, which terminate at Shrub Hill, to Foregate Street;

*Ultimately, electrification.

Some of these would be very beneficial to the Cotswold Line.
