BARRUP’s current aims are:- All trains on the West Midlands Railway (WMR) New Street – Worcester – Hereford Service to stop at Barnt Green.
This would benefit passengers from Alvechurch, Barnt Green and Redditch, who could travel then on this service to Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Worcester and beyond to Hereford. - The Cross City Line Services to both Bromsgrove and Redditch to return to three trains per hour.
- All trains on the Cross Country Trains Nottingham – Cardiff service to stop at Bromsgrove, thus linking to trains at Worcestershire Parkway and Cheltenham for onward travel to London Paddington, Bristol and the South West of England and South Wales. This greatly improved connectivity would bring significant economic, environmental and social benefits to the people, businesses and organisations of Bromsgrove and the North East Worcestershire District.
- Poster Timetables for the WMR Cross City Line and for the WMR Service between New Street and Hereford to be
re-introduced at stations, thus making it easier for people without smartphones to plan their outward and
return journeys and thus not be disadvantaged.
Pocket Timetables for the two routes also to be re–introduced for the same reason.
- The Ticket Office at Bromsgrove Station to remain open, both for the sale of tickets which are not available on the Ticket Vending Machines and for advice on the planning of rail journeys.
