Passenger services are provided by Central Trains between Birmingham and Worcester and beyond, and by Chiltern Railways between Birmingham and Kiddermister only.

Other trains take the direct curve to Foregate Street avoiding Shrub Hill. Some trains continue beyond Foregate Street to Great Malvern or Hereford.
