Malvern Hanley Road railway station was a Midland Railway (MR) station on the Malvern, Tewkesbury and Ashchurch line.
The station was opened as Malvern Wells on 1 July 1862 by the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway before it became part of the MR.[note 1][1][2]
The station was host to two LMS caravans from 1935 to 1939.[3]
The station was renamed Malvern Hanley Road on 2 March 1951 only to close a year later on 1 December 1952 when the line closed.[1][4]

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ There is some confusion about station names in Malvern. The GWR had three stations on its Hereford to Worcester line, they were:
- Malvern Wells (which was usually suffixed with GW in timetables).
- Then came the junction with the Midland Railway called Malvern Junction but there was no actual station located at the junction.
- Great Malvern.
- Malvern Link.
