Beaulieu Park Station is Under Construction

There's a new station being built right now on the Great Eastern mainline out of Liverpool Street. Just north of Chelmsford is where Beaulieu Park is going to be - all part of a massive redevlopment of the whole area. I went along to have a look at it in an advanced stage of construction.

[ I suspect this will be station number 2,588 on the network when it opens - a station count update is included in the video ]

What do YOU call the National Rail ( British Rail ) symbol …
Double Arrows? Crows Feet? Bars and Arrows? Something else?

Proper canopies. Finally someone within Network Rail has realised it rains quite a bit in the UK 😅

I have been putting together a HUGE spreadsheet with all the new stations coming up in the next few years, and have been tracking the progress of this station for quite some time now. Great video as always Geoff, you must be delighted to have the opportunity to visit all these construction sites.

can't wait for my train to Elsemere Junction 👀

That wooden triangular roof structure looks really good

When the British Rail corporate logo was unveiled in 1965 it quickly became known as the 'Arrows of Indecision' as back then many of the UK's railway routes were under the Beeching Axe cuts. Great video as always Geoff. 🙂

This would make such a good standard dessign for future stations on busy twin track lines. That bi directional middle platfrom is so preferable for trains stopping there, removing all conflicting moves!

[Burdetski]

Thanks Geoff, great video, i have been waiting for this train for over 45 years, i look forward to seeing you when it opens in 2025. Keep up the good work

[peterryan]

Thanks Geoff. Great update, your enthusiasm is infectious.

[Transportationspotting]

Great to see something from my neck of the woods and nice to see something that I see every few weeks form an inside perspective!

[AdamSalter]

Great to see Winslow get a mention at the end, I look forward to when you get the chance to visit it under construction, or when it opens. Be sure to visit Bletchley High Level as well when you visit East West!

[Desiro]

Cool to see it coming along nicely. Looking forward to your Cambridge South video.

[lewismassie]

Really cool to see new stations that are 12 coaches long. Must have been a while since a 12-car station was built from scratch

[petebrothwell]

Great to see investment like this in the rail industry. Excellent video. Many thanks, Geoff.

[johnstilljohn]

It's great that more and more stations are opening. What they actually look like is another matter... Functional, that's the word....

[WWarped]

Great video, and it's good to see a local station to me. Been watching this large site grow and evolve. It's rare to watch such a station being built, as so many are simply a small station building with a car park. This is much more.

[HexagonOfficial]

You should take a look at SCR's Beaulieu Park as well! This beaulieu park looks good as well

[SimnTrains]

Station looks like it will be a impressive one and also love how they added a bi-directional station in to allow stopping services to be put on a different line to allow express trains to pass, great video Geoff

[rayob]

Thanks for this vid, Geoff. Yes, nice to see some architectural details just for this station (timber roof section) as we saw at Brent Cross West a while back. Quite amazing it is the first next GEML station for a century.

The new road was finished some time ago that goes around the station which makes life much easier. Station well needed as new housing estate is huge. I'm local so be nice to see and use it when it's done. Drive past every day and it's progressing rapidly.
