LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Broom Junction Station: mrbj150
View looking north towards Redditch showing the grounded coach
body on Broom Junction's platform circa 1938. The station's inadequate
facilities has resulted in an ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway coach body
being installed on the platform for use as storage by station staff. The
sidings to the right were used for both local goods traffic and to exchange
traffic between the Midland Railway line and the Stratford upon Avon &
Midland Junction Railway. To access the Stratford upon Avon & Midland
Junction Railway line to Stratford upon Avon, goods trains from the South
needed to reverse at Broom Junction until the Second World War led to the
southern connection being installed in 1942.
