Hartlebury train station is a 15-20 minute walk from Hartlebury Castle, with trains from Birmingham and Worcester. Trains run less frequently on Sundays. Plan your journey with Trainline.
Worcestershire on Demand (WoD) offers an alternative transport option to fixed route public transport services. It helps people make essential local journeys within a defined area, and offers residents and visitors transport within a zoned area and to specific places of interest outside of the zone.
The service can also provide journeys to connecting transport services, such as other local buses or to local train stations.
Worcestershire on Demand allows passengers to book on to the service from an app. Passengers can request transport for a specific time or to arrive at their destination at a specific time and this will give a selection of boarding times available. Transport will collect the passenger from a designated pick-up point and will drop off at the required location. Unlike fixed route bus services, the service is flexible depending on the destinations and collection points.
Worcestershire on Demand will be piloted in Wychavon from August 2025. Find out more information.
