Evesham railway station is in the town of Evesham in Worcestershire, England. It is between {{rws|Honeybourne}} and {{rws|Pershore}} stations on the Cotswold Line between {{rws|Oxford}} and {{rws|Hereford}} via Worcester and {{rws|Great Malvern}}. It is operated by Great Western Railway. Trains to {{rws|London Paddington}} take about 1 hour 45 minutes. It is one of the few railway stations in the United Kingdom to have shown a steady (if relatively small) decline in use since 2004 (see usage figures, below right). HistoryThe first major section of the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway (OWW), between Evesham and {{rws|Stourbridge Junction}}, opened to public traffic on 3 May 1852, the opening ceremony having been held on 1 May.{{sfn|Jenkins|Quayle|1977|pp=29–30}}{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=93}} Evesham was a terminus for just over a year, until the last major section of the OWW, from Evesham to Wolvercot Junction (to the north of {{rws|Oxford}}), was opened on 4 June 1853.{{sfn|Jenkins|Quayle|1977|p=36}} The OWW became the West Midland Railway in 1860,{{sfn|Jenkins|Quayle|1977|p=63}} which in turn merged with the Great Western Railway in 1863.{{sfn|Jenkins|Quayle|1977|p=66}} Facing the present (former OWW) station across the car park is the former Midland Railway station of 1864 by the architect George Hunt on the Ashchurch to {{rws|Barnt Green}} Gloucester Loop Line, which closed to passenger traffic in June 1963 and completely a year later.[1] The original timber buildings from this station were taken to build Monsal Dale railway station in Derbyshire; the replacement stone structure still stands and is used for office accommodation. The rest of the site has been redeveloped as a housing estate. ServicesEvesham currently has an irregular service with gaps between daytime services ranging from 40 minutes to 2 hours. It has a total of 32 services Monday to Friday: destinations served include Worcester, Great Malvern and Hereford to the north and west and Oxford, {{rws|Reading}} & London Paddington to the south.[2] Typical journey times are 27 minutes to Worcester, 1 hour 15 minutes to Hereford, 55 minutes to Oxford, 1 hour 16 minutes to Reading, and 1 hour 44 minutes to London Paddington. {{rail start}}{{rail line |next={{rws|Honeybourne}} |previous={{rws|Pershore}}|route=Great Western RailwayCotswold Line |col={{FGW colour}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line |next={{rws|Littleton and Badsey}} Line open, station closed |previous={{rws|Fladbury}} Line open, station closed |route=Great Western Railway Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{Disused Rail Insert}}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Bengeworth}} Line and station closed|next={{rws|Harvington}} Line and station closed|route=Midland Railway Gloucester Loop Line|col={{MR colour}}}}{{s-end}} References1. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/e/evesham_mid/index.shtml |last=Catford |first=Nick |work=Disused Stations |title=Evesham (Midland) |accessdate=16 December 2013}} 2. ^GB Rail Timetable 2013–14, Table 126 Sources
