The current station at Evesham was built by the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway and opened in 1852. It later became part of the Great Western Railway’s route between Oxford and Hereford via Malvern and is known today as the Chilterns line. The former Midland Railway station building [1864-1964] sits opposite the main station on the other side of the car park. On the wall is a blue plaque for Sir Henry Fowler, a former CME of the LMS Railway, who was born in the town. Fowler designed the Patriot and Royal Scot classes.
