Bromsgrove station serves the traditional market town of Bromsgrove in the Bromsgrove district of Worcestershire.
This bustling town was first documented in the 9th Century and still holds an outdoor market every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. The town is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and nestles at the foot of the Lickey Hills.
The station is in the Aston Fields suburb of the town. It is staffed and is served by West Midlands Railway on the Cross-City Line some 15 miles southwest of Birmingham New Street. Services also run to Worcester and Hereford.
The original station was opened in 1840. The adjacent works played a significant role in the development of locomotive engineering as the challenges of working the Lickey incline were overcome (see this short history). The station was remodelled in 2016 as part of the extension of the electrified Cross-City service. The new station is unusual in being built and owned by West Midlands Rail Executive. It is now a key park & ride station for the surrounding area. In late 2020, a Stations as Places prospectus was produced from the station which can be downloaded here
The station is fully accessible and has a RADAR key accessible toilet.
