REDDITCH Rachel Maclean MP has welcomed the West Midlands Rail Investment Strategy which will benefit rail users in Redditch.
The 30-year strategy, developed by the West Midlands Rail Executive, focuses on the rail connectivity required to support the needs of Redditch and the wider West Midlands region.
It is underpinned by a view of how train services could develop in the future, and how the executive plans to support the exciting regeneration of Redditch’s railway station.
Included in the plan is new connections for Redditch services, a £10million regeneration of Redditch’s railway station and by the early 2030s, an increase from two Redditch trains per hour to three.
Mrs Maclean said: “Rail is an important form of travel for many residents, including myself, so it’s great to see the investment Redditch will directly benefit from as part of the West Midlands Rail Investment Strategy.
“New trains, new connections for Redditch services, a brand-new railway station and more frequent trains – all promises the strategy makes which I will ensure are delivered.”
