SATURDAY shoppers from Bromsgrove and Droitwich should find it easier to get to the summer sales now that extra trains have been commissioned between Worcester and Birmingham. Every Saturday from July 19 until August 23, customers of London Midlands can take their pick from four additional trains. They will be the 9.20am and 2.20pm Worcester Shrub Hill to Birmingham New Street, calling at Droitwich Spa and Bromsgrove. The 3.38pm Birmingham New Street, calling at Bromsgrove and the 4.50pm Birmingham New Street to Worcester Shrub Hill, also calling in at Bromsgrove. Additional trains will continue after August 23, but at different times, to be published later. Managing director Stephen Banaghan said: "These trains are in addition to the frequent service we already run on this line. With the summer sales in full force, we wanted to provide passengers with even more opportunity to get in and out of Birmingham in less than 50 minutes."
