Evesham station serves the town of Evesham – the ‘Small Town with a Big Heart’ – in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire.
This historic market town grew up around Evesham Abbey, which, in its heyday, was the third largest in England. The Battle of Evesham took place in 1265, whilst the town was occupied by both Royalist and Parliamentarian supporters during the Civil War.
The station is staffed and is situated on the Cotswold Line between London and Hereford. The station was opened in 1840 and retains buildings on both platforms from the era of the original Great Western Railway. The current operator is GWR (Great Western Railway).
The Cotswold Line Railcard can be bought at this station.
Level access is available to both platforms thought the ramp to Platform 2 (London bound) runs from Worcester Road.
The station gardens and planters on the platforms are looked after by the Evesham Station Gardens Project (a member of the Community Rail Network) which works closely with the Cotswold Line Promotion Group.
The main garden lies on unused Network Rail land behind Platform 2. Although not open to the public it is easily seen from the ramp access to the platform. The Garden Team were award winners in the 2020 Community Rail Awards
The Cotswold Line Promotion Group actively promotes the use of the station and of the services which run from it.
