History

Broome station was built by the Knighton Railway company on their branch line between Craven Arms and Knighton, opening with the line in 1861. In 1895 a wind engine was erected at the station for the London and North Western Railway by John Wallis Titt.

The line was double track and the station had two platforms, but the line has been singled and the station now has just one platform.
