Worcester has three railway stations. {{rws|Worcester Foregate Street}} and {{rws|Worcester Shrub Hill}} are in the city centre. A third station on the edge of the city, {{rws|Worcestershire Parkway}}, opened in 2020.

The [[Cotswold line]] towards [[Great Malvern railway station|Great Malvern]] and [[Hereford railway station|Hereford]] crosses Foregate Street on an arched [[Cast-iron architecture|cast-iron bridge]]. Between Foregate Street and the St John's area of the city, heading towards Malvern and Hereford, the line crosses the Worcester viaduct over the River Severn.

Worcester Shrub Hill lies about a mile east of the city centre on Shrub Hill Road. It is on part of today's [[Cross Country Route]], looping off the [[Birmingham and Gloucester Railway|Birmingham to Gloucester]] railway.

Both stations have frequent trains to Birmingham via [[Droitwich Spa railway station|Droitwich Spa]], through [[Kidderminster railway station|Kidderminster]] and [[Stourbridge Junction railway station|Stourbridge]] into [[Birmingham Snow Hill railway station|Birmingham Snow Hill]] and [[Birmingham Moor Street railway station|Birmingham Moor Street]] then onwards usually to [[Dorridge railway station|Dorridge]] or [[Whitlocks End railway station|Whitlocks End]], or via [[Bromsgrove railway station|Bromsgrove]] and [[University (Birmingham) railway station|University]] and [[Birmingham New Street railway station|Birmingham New Street]]. These services are run by [[West Midlands Trains]].
