Beaulieu Park railway station is a planned station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the East of England that will serve a new development in Boreham, approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) to the north-east of Chelmsford, Essex. It will be situated between Chelmsford to the west and Hatfield Peverel to the east. It was originally expected to open in 2019,^[1] though due to numerous issues, mainly relating to funding, this date has been pushed back number of times, most recently to 2026.^[2]

The station is proposed with three platforms, to be served by medium- and long-distance trains on the route from London Liverpool Street to Norwich, with interchange with local buses.^{[citation needed]}

The development will include thousands of new residential dwellings, three schools, a business park, surgery, hotel, and parkland, as well as the station which will also serve the neighbourhoods of Boreham and Springfield to help relieve congestion at Chelmsford's main station.^[3]

In August 2019 the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sajid Javid, agreed £218 million from the Housing Infrastructure Fund for the new station and associated road improvements, with the aim of unlocking up to 14,000 new homes.^[4]

Construction on the station began in January 2023.

When completed, the station itself will have 3 platforms, lift-based step free access to each platform, car and cycle parking, and a bus interchange.^[5]
