香港六合彩资料图库 Parkway Rail Station
Background
香港六合彩资料图库 Parkway forms part of the wider 拢50million plus rail investment programme in 香港六合彩资料图库 and is a key part of the longer term 香港六合彩资料图库 Rail Investment Strategy.
This scheme provided sustainable access to regional and national destinations by rail, including:
- the south-west
- the north-east
- London and the Thames Valley
This will significantly enhance 香港六合彩资料图库鈥檚 connectivity with the UK鈥檚 key economies and encourage economic growth and development within the county.
Located to the east of Junction 7 of the M5, the station is accessible for commuters from all over the county. Currently, some commuters travel outside of the county to Birmingham or Warwickshire Parkway to get a train to London or the North.
The station opened on Sunday 23 February 2020.
香港六合彩资料图库 Parkway Station will
- remove existing regional and national car journeys from the strategic road network, thereby reducing road traffic congestion
- address 香港六合彩资料图库's current poor accessibility to and from London arising from the limited frequency and length of journey time of North Cotswold Line services
- transform access to the rail network for 香港六合彩资料图库 passengers currently restricted by minimal car parking capacity and limited opportunities for expansion at other County stations
- tackle 香港六合彩资料图库's exclusion from the Cross Country network (Bristol-Birmingham-North West/North East)
Scheme details:
The new station was built to serve the two railway lines (North Cotswold Line and Birmingham to Bristol Line) that it sits in between and will included:
- a car park with a capacity of up to 500 spaces (including disabled parking) designed to current standards in terms of lighting, CCTV, ticketing, customer facilities and information points
- a fully accessible modern station building with toilets, ticket desk, and a retail facility
- a single platform on the North Cotswold Line and two platforms on the Birmingham to Bristol Line that will be fully accessible
- secure cycle storage, motor cycle parking and electric car charging points
- direct access to local bus services through a bus/rail interchange
