Droitwich Spa station serves the historic spa town of Droitwich Spa in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire.
This busy town was known to the Romans as a key source of salt then was developed into a spa during the 19th century.
The station is staffed and is situated at the junction of two lines both operated by West Midlands Railway: Worcester to Birmingham Snow Hill via Kidderminster, and Worcester to Birmingham New Street via Bromgrove.
The station was opened in 1852 as simply Droitwich but was renamed Droitwich Spa when rebuilt in 1899. This latter station has subsequently been replaced by a modern booking hall and waiting room.
Level access is available to both platforms.
The station has been adopted by the Friends of Droitwich Station
The Friends have transformed the station by installing and maintaining planters and commissioning artwork for display.
The StitchTrain Class 196 tapestry is on display in the Ticket Office and can also be seen here.
