Broadway railway station is a railway station on the heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway in the town of Broadway in Worcestershire, England. The original station opened in 1904, and closed to passengers in 1960; the original station buildings was demolished in Autumn 1963[3] although the line through the site remained open for regular passenger trains until 1968 and goods until official closure in November 1976.

Preservation

The GWR Broadway Area Group of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Trust started work clearing the derelict site in 2009. As of May 2018, both platforms had been reconstructed, a signal box on platform 2 had been rebuilt and was being fitted out with necessary signalling equipment, the footbridge span (no steps yet) had been erected and the main station building had been completed with toilets and a booking office along with the canopy and roof, except for a further canopy section at the north end to connect with the footbridge. [4][5] The rebuilding of Broadway station was largely completed in 2017.[6]

The four mile section of track from Toddington towards Broadway station was relaid from 2015 to 2018.[7] Fund raising included a 2016 share offer, "Broadway: the last mile", to complete the last mile of track.[8] Tracklaying commenced in the cutting north of the station during summer 2017 and was completed by year end. Until March 2018 trains had run as far as Laverton Halt[9] and from May 2017 onwards to Little Buckland until the first train since 1960 arrived at Broadway Station on Christmas Eve 2017 after volunteers had finished laying the track on 23 December 2017,[10][11] an English Electric Class 20 and Electro Diesel Class 73 pulling in the first works train.{{cn|date=July 2018}}

The first test steam train was hauled by 7903 'Foremarke Hall' on 9 March 2018[12] and the first passenger train (for volunteers) was, on the 21st March 2018, hauled by 35006 'Peninsular & Oriental S. N. Co.';[12] public passenger services began on the 30th March 2018.[13][14] At the end of May 2018 the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway saw an increase in overall passenger numbers of over 14,000 passengers compared to the previous May, primarily due to the opening of the station at Broadway.
