May 2026 Timetable Changes
A new timetable comes into force on 17 May. There are only a small number of changes to Stourbridge line services.
As the result of a concerted campaign by SLUG, on Mondays to Fridays, the following services will be altered.
On the downside, three of the fifteen diagrams on Monday to Saturday, that were reduced in size by one carriage without any notification from 6 April, will continue to operate with reduced length formations in the new timetable. SLUG has contacted West Midlands Railway for an explanation.
- The 0903 Dorridge to Worcester Shrub Hill service (arriving at 1028) will be extended at 1033 to Worcester Foregate Street, arriving at 1035.
- The 1047 Worcester Shrub Hill to Stratford-upon-Avon service will start from Worcester Foregate Street at 1040, arriving at Shrub Hill at 1042.
- The 1308 Stratford-upon-Avon to Worcester Shrub Hill (arriving at 1501) will no longer serve Shrub Hill but will divert to Worcester Foregate Street, arriving at 1502.
- The 1516 Worcester Shrub Hill to Dorridge service will no longer serve Shrub Hill but will start from Worcester Foregate Street at 1515.
