Trains at Beaulieu Park, GEML, 26/10/25 & 27/10/25, P1/2

Описание: Beaulieu Park railway station is on the Great Eastern Main Line (GEML) in the East of England. It serves the new Beaulieu Park housing development in Boreham, approximately 3 miles (5 km) to the north-east of Chelmsford, Essex. The station lies between Chelmsford to the west and Hatfield Peverel to the east.

The station was suggested as early as the 1980s, but construction work did not start until 2023.

It opened on 26 October 2025, the first new station on the GEML in 100 years. It is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving the station.

Plans for Chelmsford's second station were rumoured in the 1990s,although passengers have been waiting for it since the 1980s.

The new station was part of Chelmsford's Local Plan in 2003; however, the Local Plan was withdrawn that year and the station re-entered the planning stage five years later. The planning application was then submitted in 2010.

In September 2013, it was reported that the station would cost £53 million.

In March 2014, Countryside, a UK housebuilding company, agreed to fund the railway station and 3,600 new homes north-east of Chelmsford.

In October 2013, the leader of Braintree Council believed that the station "could open by 2019", though this never came to fruition.

In 2015, an agreement was signed between Essex County Council, Chelmsford City Council, Network Rail (which owns and maintains Great Britain's railway network) and Countryside to work on the delivery of the new station.

In August 2019, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sajid Javid, agreed to allocate £218 million from the Housing Infrastructure Fund for the new station and associated road improvements, with the aim of building up to 14,000 new homes.

Originally planned for 2026, the station opened on 26 October 2025.

It is the first station on the Great Eastern Main Line in over 100 years.


This station was built as part of Chelmsford's housing development.

It also serves Springfield and Boreham, easing pressure at Chelmsford's main station.
As part of Project Oval, contactless payments to and from the station will be accepted from 14 December 2025, along with several others.
