LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Broom Junction Station: mrbj537c

Close up of Broom Junction's main station building housing the simple booking office, waiting rooms and toilets

Close up of 'image mrbj537' showing Broom Junction's main station building housing the simple booking office, waiting rooms and toilets. The grounded coach body on the left was used to provide storage facilities for the station staff. In front of the coach body stands a porter with a large wheeled porter's trolley carrying a trunk of luggage. The gentlemen's urinals were located in the flat roof structure and, unlike the ladies facilities, were accessed directly from the platform. The ladies toilets were accessed from the ladies only waiting room. Comparing this view with that seen in image 'mrbj150a', which taken some thirty years later, shows little has changed, although the coach body has been replaced with another and positioned further to the left, the station name board changed to a different time and the floral display removed.
