Gloucestershire Parkway railway station
Gloucestershire Parkway railway station is or was a proposed development in transport infrastructure for a semi-greenfield site surrounded by warehouse and light industry units 1.4 miles (2.3 km) east of Gloucester city centre (including its main railway station) which is on a major east-west spur line off of the greater north-south Birmingham-to-Bristol line on which this station would be built. The proposed site is specifically by an intra-city (urban) part of the inceptive A40 road in an area known as Elmbridge Court, Gloucester, England, UK.[1]
Specific proposal
If approved its 2006-submitted designs involve building:
- an interchange for buses to Gloucester and Cheltenham accommodating a park and ride service
- a 500-space car park.[2]
In May 2007 the Department for Transport dismissed the above plans stating that several issues needed to be resolved.[3] As of 2013 there has been no further development.
