The Stourbridge Line User Group's response to the West Midlands Rail Development Plan has been published:
http://www.stourbridgelineusergroup.info/PDF/wmrrdpresponse.pdfNotable 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.
