The proposed site is specifically by an intra-city (urban) part of the inceptive A40 road in an area known as Elmbridge Court, Gloucester, England.
Following the General Election of 2024, new Gloucester MP Alex McIntyre (Labour) has been asked about the possibility of a new version of this station, to be called 'Gloucester Parkway' and to instead be built under Metz Way.
This would mean re-signalling of Barnwood Junction at the south end, the loss of Gloucester Yard (which may be compensated by additional future space at Severn Tunnel) as well as new crossovers at the north of the station.
The design would be modelled on Worcestershire Parkway lower level with two platforms with an hourly stopping service for Cross Country trains only (Monday to Saturday) with the existing Gloucester station (likely to be renamed 'Gloucester Central' in order to reflect its proximity to the City Centre) being served by these trains on Sunday only - save for any future Newcastle to Cardiff Central services which would not need to stop at Gloucester Parkway.
Hourly southbound services would include: Penzance, Plymouth, Paignton, Exeter St. Davids and Bristol Temple Meads with occasional extensions to Weston-super-Mare.
