Worcester Foregate Street (Worcester)

Worcester Foregate Street station is exceptionally convenient fir the city centre, as in effect, it has been squeezed into the built up environment.
Hence it's two platforms are up beside the bridge which spans the road.

Though the station's location can only be exploited when travelling from and to it on foot.
There isn't a taxi rank, as the station's entrance is set back from the road, and the buses which stop near the station are virtually all heading to and from the city's bus station - which isn't any closer to the city centre.

Hence the access to and from Worcester cathedra( is by making an 8 - 15 min straight walk along both Foregate Street and the High Street.

Because the railway crosses the city centre on a viaduct and a series of bridges, the platforms are above street level, but each of them has a lift / elevator to provide an alternative to using fairly lengthy staircases.

What is unusual at Worcester Foregate Street is that both of the tracks through the station are bi-directional, due to the lack of a junction to the north of the station.

Hence platform 1 is used by trains travelling to and from Bristol, Cheltenham, London and Oxford

Trains to and from Birmingham New Street arrive at and depart from platform 2, as do most of the trains from and to Birmingham Snow Hill and Birmingham Moor Street, which travel via Kidderminster and continue on to Stratford Upon Avon.
Though some of the trains to and from Snow Hill and Moor Street, typically the trains terminating at Dorridge, use platform 1 as they also call at Worcester Shrub Hill, where they reverse direction.

Trains to Great Malvern and Hereford use both platforms 1 and 2.
