  • Stratford Upon Avon Parkway Station Prospectus
    STATIONS AS PLACES Opportunity Prospectus Integration, Community and Delivery: A Masterplan for Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway station STRATFORD-UPON-AVON PARKWAY STATION May 2020 FOREWORD Introducing the concept of Stations as Places The Stations as Places (SAP) programme is a process to help put railway stations at the heart of local communities. It is designed to create a vision for the future and to identify opportunities for delivering improvements to the local environment and create a welcoming ambience. The aim is to work in partnership with others to unlock potential and to meet shared objectives and aspirations. Railway stations are more than access points to the rail network; they can be hubs of activity that are rooted in the locality with the potential to support regeneration and development opportunities. They can also host community and business activities and offer facilities/infrastructure to encourage sustainable, multi modal travel with a view to reducing car dependency and improving local air quality. The Vision “We will develop stations as quality gateways between communities and the railway, supporting the changing needs of our passengers, residents and visitors. Stations in the West Midlands will be community assets, supporting the wellbeing and development of the areas they serve through involving local community and business.” West Midlands Station Alliance (WMSA) Mission Statement What does the prospectus do for Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway Station? There is an important role for the railways to play in both the economic and social regeneration of the local areas which our stations serve. This Opportunity Prospectus sets out the economic, social and geographic landscape of the area around our station and highlights some of the opportunities for commercial development, partnership working, inward investment and community regeneration.

We start this time in 1954, when British Railways (Western Region) introduced its new “intensified” local train service. Given that we now have train services every 10 minutes along the Stourbridge line, the word “intensified” seems a bit exaggerated (Michael Mensing) to describe an hourly clockface service. Birmingham Post - 10 September 1954 Important Announcement Commencing Monday, September 20th 1954 British Railways will operate an Improved and Intensified Train Service ON WEEKDAYS by through services over the undermentioned sections of line WOLVERHAMPTON (L.L.) - BIRMINGHAM (Snow Hill) - KNOWLE & DORRIDGE LEAMINGTON SPA - BIRMINGHAM MOOR STREET DUDLEY - BIRMINGHAM (Snow Hill) STOURBRIDGE Junction - BIRMINGHAM (Snow Hill) HENLEY-IN-ARDEN - BIRMINGHAM (Moor Street) LEAMINGTON SPA - STRATFORD-UPON-AVON LEAMINGTON SPA - BIRMINGHAM (Snow Hill) - WOLVERHAMPTON (L.L.)

    2018-2019 NEWS Elmdon Airport. Aviation enthusiasts may well be aware of the appalling state of the original 'art deco' terminal building at Birmingham (Elmdon) Airport, located in Warwickshire until 1974 boundary changes. In danger of demolition or indeed collapse, the previously unlisted building has been granted Grade II listed status and hopefully an exciting new future awaits. To read the story to save this iconic building click here. 17th December 2019 WIAS December Meeting. A reminder that the ideal way to spend Thursday evening is to enjoy the presentation by Ian Pogson on 'The Life and Engineering Achievements of Frederick Lanchester' at the WIAS meeting at 7.30pm in the Pyne Room, Warwick School CV34 6PP. It is a fascinating story with great significance for the area's industrial heritage, and Ian is a lively speaker. All are welcome. The School has advised that parking is available in the Junior School car park (the one, I believe, that most members use). I have received a request from a couple who live in the Milverton area of Leamington who cannot drive to the meeting and would very much like a lift. If anybody is willing to help, please contact me. See you at the meeting! Martin Green, Chairman, WIAS, 10th December 2019 WIAS Newsletter. The November newsletter, No. 68, is now available on line. Click here. 8th December 2019 Leamington History Day. Held on the last weekend in September the day provides a wonderful shop front for many local societies, including WIAS. If you weren't able to get to this years event make a point of visiting next years! In the meantime have alook at some photos from this year in our gallery.
