Bromsgrove Railway Station, Garrington Road, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire 16 August 2017

Bromsgrove Railway Station, Garrington Road, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire 16 August 2017
Platform name sign honouring Lauren Rowles (see below).

The first railway station in Bromsgrove was opened in 1840 by the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway (later Midland Railway); it was rebuilt in 1969. Planned for further south than the original, the new station was mooted in 2007, but following various planning, land contamination and financial difficulties work was not started until 2014, the station opening finally in 2016. The station name signs on the platforms have been given gold backgrounds in recognition of local para-olympian Lauren Rowles who, with Laurence Whiteley, won a gold medal in the trunk arms mixed double sculls at the 2016 Paralympics.
