Broadway Station, Broadway, Worcestershire, UK. 30th March 2018. A steam train carry members of the public departed from Broadway Station in the Cotswolds for the first time in almost 60 years today. On Good Friday, Lord Richard Faulkner of Worcester formally opened the station and traveled on the footplate of Great Western Railway-designed engine no.7903 ‘Foremarke Hall’, the first public train to Cheltenham for 58 years. The new station has been built by GWSR volunteers to a similar design as the 1903 original station. Most of the stations on the former Stratford-upon-Avon to Cheltenham line were closed by British Railways in 1960 and the railway closed completely in 1976, with track and infrastructure removed by 1979. Pictured: Lord Richard Faulkner (standing left holding plaque) stands in front of the engine.
