About Worcester Shrub Hill

Worcester Shrub Hill is one of two train stations serving the city of Worcester. Foregate Street Station is more central than Worcester Shrub Hill Station, occupying a spot in the city center. However, Worcester Shrub Hill operates as the main connection from Birmingham, the nearest large city to Worcester and the closest international airport, so Worcester Shrub Hill Station provides a vital transportation link to this underrated city. As the bigger of the city's two train stations, Worcester Shrub Hill Station also provides connections to London Paddington.
