Barnt Green-Bromsgrove electrification. - Posted: December 16, 2014 - 7:43 PM Quote and reply
Work to improve the rail network between Barnt Green and Bromsgrove will increase over the coming weeks and months as part of a £100m investment to provide a better railway.

Network Rail and its partners Centro and Worcestershire County Council will be completing a range of improvements from a new pedestrian footbridge at Barnt Green station to a new station in Bromsgrove. The railway in between the two will also be electrified and resignalled to help provide an improved and more frequent service to complement the new facilities.

The new Bromsgrove station will be served by a new extended electric Cross-City line train service between Bromsgrove, Birmingham New Street, Sutton Coldfield and Lichfield, with four trains per hour each way on weekdays compared to the current one train per hour service today.
Work to electrify the railway between Barnt Green and Bromsgrove will take place from February 2015 to spring 2016
The new footbridge will be built at Barnt Green station between February and June 2015. The current bridge will remain in place throughout and be removed once the new one is installed.
