Artist impressions were released in February 2015 and the council said that a planning application had been submitted, with a decision due to have been made during the summer of 2015.
The plan was for work to commence by the spring of 2016 and the station was on track to open in summer 2017, the county council said.

In February 2015, Worcestershire County Council advertised for contractors for the construction of the railway station to include platforms, station building, passenger footbridge and lifts with a commencement date of late September 2015 with completion in May 2017.
On 25 August 2015 planning permission was granted, with work expected to start in 2016.
The cost of the scheme was estimated at £22m.

A potential legal battle between Worcester County Council and Norton Parkway Developments, who currently own the land, started in 2016.
Norton Parkway Developments refused to hand over the land to the council as they felt that they were in a position to complete the development themselves.

In January 2017, WCC's plans for Worcestershire Parkway were approved by the DfT. In February 2017, clearance work on the site began, and Worcestershire County Council appointed Buckingham Group Contracting as the developer as part of a design and build deal.
Construction work finally began in early 2018, with a planned opening date in 2019.
In November 2019, it was announced that the station would open on 15 December 2019.
This was later pushed back to an unspecified time "early in the New Year."
In January 2020, it was announced that the station would be further delayed but opening was expected 'well before' the May timetable change.

Phase 1 construction included the Cotswold Line, station building, interchange facilities, 300 space car park, road access and infrastructure for phase 2.
This second phase included two new platforms on the Birmingham - Bristol Main Line, a footbridge between the Phase 1 and 2 platforms, and an additional 200 car parking spaces.

Worcestershire Parkway opened to the public on Sunday 23 February 2020.
The first train to serve the new station was the 8:29 GWR service to London Paddington.
At 9:57 the first Train arrived from London Paddington.
The first Cross Country service to serve the station was the 10:40 to Cardiff Central from Birmingham New Street.
