Beaulieu Park Rail Station
The station is proposed with three platforms, to be served by medium- and long-distance trains on the route from London Liverpool Street to Norwich, with interchange with local buses.
The development will include thousands of new residential dwellings, three schools, a business park, surgery, hotel, and parkland, as well as the station which will also serve the neighbourhoods of Boreham and Springfield to help relieve congestion at Chelmsford's main station.
In August 2019 the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sajid Javid, agreed £218 million from the Housing Infrastructure Fund for the new station and associated road improvements, with the aim of unlocking up to 14,000 new homes.
Construction on the station began in January 2023.
When completed, the station itself will have 3 platforms, lift-based step free access to each platform, car and cycle parking, and a bus interchange.
