So is Ashchurch being renamed or what?

Was Bristol Parkway not so named because of the M32, known as the Parkway? Is this not where the Parkway suffix originated?

A once a week parliamentary train from Birmingham to Gloucester via Worcester SH.

There was talk not too long ago about making it a regular service but it never happened.

It runs once a week late on a Friday evening, with no return working.

Presumably there's a return ECS working - but when, and where to?

Right near the M6 and M40 respectively? :P

Coleshill Parkway is closer to Junction 9 of the M42 and Junction T1 of the M6 Toll than to Junction 4 of the M6.

It's in the middle of an industrial estate, close to the Hams Hall rail freight terminal, and it's nowhere near the town centre. There is a rail-link bus service than runs to Birmingham Airport every 15 minutes (via Coleshill town) and to Sutton Coldfield every hour, but I'm not sure how well patronised that bus service is.

Haddenham/Thame Parkway is also very useful for people from Aylesbury wanting to go to Birmingham, and also many surrounding towns/villages in Aylesbury Vale and South East Oxfordshire wanting to go to London.
