Worcester Foregate Street railway station is situated in the centre of the city of Worcester, in Worcestershire, England. It is physically the smaller of the two stations serving the city, the other being Worcester Shrub Hill which is situated to the east. Its layout is a little unusual in that the two platforms are bi-directional i.e. the station effectively serves two parallel single lines. In addition the station itself is on a viaduct. Despite its small size, the remains of two signal boxes can be seen, one spanning the tracks and the second now the [http://ianmurray.fotopic.net/p27045681.html station cafe] .

Of Worcester's two stations, Foregate Street is the more centrally located with easy access to shops and taxis, and is a five minutes walk to the bus station.
