Beaulieu railway station is a planned station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the East of England that will serve a new development called Beaulieu Park 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 and to the east. It is expected to open in 2022.

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.[1]

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.[2][3]
