Worcester Foregate Street is also on the border of the Network Railcard Area.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The station layout at Worcester Foregate Street is unusual in that travelling east the two platforms serve different routes, rather than different directions. Platform 1 can only be accessed by GWR trains via Worcester Shrub Hill, while platform 2 can only be accessed from the east by trains running directly to and from Droitwich Spa, avoiding Shrub Hill. A similar example of this type of layout can be found at Glenrothes with Thornton in Fife.
