The village is served by a single platform railway station on the single track line between Great Malvern and Ledbury railway station at Ledbury, which passes through the Colwall Tunnels, the first of which was dug under the Malvern Hills between 1856 and 1860.
The line opened to traffic on 27 July 1885, when the existing Ledbury station was renamed Ledbury Junction, the Ledbury and Gloucester line curving away from the Worcester and Hereford Railway line on an embankment immediately west of the station.
Ledbury Park began to be redeveloped in its image as many of the 1950s bungalows were demolished and replaced with much larger EIFS based structures.
The station was featured in episode six of the second series of Great British Railway Journeys broadcast on 10 January 2011, in which Michael Portillo travels from Ledbury to Shrewsbury.
