Like the two Stourbridge stations and the three central Birmingham stations the ticket sales for Shrub Hill and Foregate Street are combined. The current view by the Worcestershire County Council Local Transport Plan 2 is that in 2002 the number of passenger buying tickets at the two stations is 1,604,737.
The County Council estimate that of this figure 1.3 million use Foregate Street and the other 300,000 use Shrub Hill.

The County Council have now taken the issue of the transposing of the ticket sales up with Network Rail because of its importance for local transport planning. --

I would naturally assume the much higher Forgate St sales to due to the fact that the trains are packed with children from the Malvern area going to the major Worcester schools and colleges that are all within a very short walk of the station; while experience may show that Shrub Hill is used extensively for changing trains. Maybe there are some recent stats to corroborate this.--
