History
A six-mile railway from Henwick to Malvern Link opened in July 1859; in May 1860 the line was extended onward to Great Malvern and Malvern Wells.
Most of the original station buildings (on the down (eastern) side) had to be demolished in the 1960s after falling into poor repair, though the station house has survived.
Development
A set of improvements, funded by Worcestershire County Council, Network Rail and the Railway Heritage Trust, was carried out in 2014 to replace the wooden 1960s station building and provide a new entrance to the up platform from Osborne Road. In 2015 these improvements were awarded the Malvern Civic Society's Civic Award.
Services
The station is located on the Cotswold Line and served by London Midland and Great Western Railway. Trains run westbound to Great Malvern & Hereford and eastbound to Worcester Foregate Street; from the latter, destinations served include Birmingham New Street via Bromsgrove, Bristol Temple Meads & Westbury and Whitlocks End via Kidderminster & Birmingham Snow Hill.
