 On the line between Leominster and Worcester. The line westwards to Leominster (to the right) was closed in 1952; the remainder of the line eastwards (to the left) was closed in 1964. Part of the trackbed eastwards has since had a 2ft narrow gauge railway set up on it. |

Bromyard station was originally opened in 1877, when it was a terminus of a branch line from near Worcester. It became a through station in 1897, when the GWR completed a link from Bromsgrove westwards to Steens Bridge at the end of a short branch from Leominster. Most of the track was single line with passing loops at Bromyard and several other stations. The line west of Bromyard was closed in 1952 but used for storing condemned wagons for several years afterwards. The line east of Bromyard closed in 1964. |
