^
There is some confusion about station names in Malvern. The GWR had three stations on its Hereford to Worcester line, they were:
- Malvern Wells (which was usually suffixed with GW in timetables).
- Then came the junction with the Midland Railway called Malvern Junction but there was no actual station located at the junction.
- Great Malvern.
- Malvern Link.
The Midland Railway station was also called Malvern Wells and was often suffixed with Mid or MR in the timetables. Bradshaws timetables for 1895 and 1922 both have a note attached to the MR station saying Hanley Road Station; about 1¾ mile to The Common Station, Great Western Railway.^[5]^[6]^[7]
