Hartlebury railway station serves the village of Hartlebury in Worcestershire. All trains serving the station are operated by London Midland; however, Hartlebury has only a limited service, especially outside peak hours. The station is unstaffed and is about half a mile to the east of the village.
Details and History
Until 1963, Hartlebury was the starting point of the Severn Valley line, which ran from here to Shrewsbury in Shropshire, a distance of 40 miles. The Severn Valley heritage railway has been preserved between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth.
The station had an overbridge and canopies, but these were removed in the 60s, when rationalisation took place. Crossing the platforms must be done via the road.
The old station building is now a marine engineering centre, and passengers have to make do with bus shelters.
Hartlebury station has short platforms meaning that longer trains cannot stop here.
There is a level crossing at the north end of the station, operated by Hartlebury Signal Box (to the North of the crossing). There was another signal box (Hartlebury Junction), further north at the junction of the Severn Valley Line, but this was closed and demolished after the close of the line.
