The railway station was built on the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway as a through station. The Great Western Railway (GWR) added two branch lines in Leominster which created a busy junction, and they were the Leominster and Kington Railway and Worcester, Bromyard and Leominster Railway. They closed in the 1950s, and the station is still open on the Welsh Marches Line. The station buildings date from the mid 19th century and it's a delight they weren't demolished, except the ginormous signal box on one of the platforms to the Leominster and Kington Railway was demolished around the 1960s.
