Malvern Link railway station serves Malvern Link in Worcestershire, England. It is one of two stations serving the town of Malvern, the other being Great Malvern station.
History
A six-mile (9.7 km) railway from Henwick to Malvern Link opened in July 1859; in May 1860 the line was extended onward to Great Malvern and Malvern Wells.
Most of the original station buildings (on the down (eastern) side) had to be demolished in the 1960s after falling into poor repair, though the station house has survived.
Development
A set of improvements, funded by Worcestershire County Council, Network Rail and the Railway Heritage Trust, was carried out in 2014 to replace the wooden 1960s station building and provide a new entrance to the up platform from Osborne Road. In 2015 these improvements were awarded the Malvern Civic Society's Civic Award.
Services
The station is located on the Cotswold Line and is served by West Midlands Railway and Great Western Railway.
West Midlands Railway run hourly services westbound to Great Malvern and Hereford. Hourly services run to Birmingham New Street via Worcester Foregate Street, Bromsgrove and University. Some West Midlands Railway services serve Worcester Shrub Hill, usually the first and last trains of the day.
