The character of Bromsgrove
The high street slopes gently and is largely pedestrian-priority during the day, with short-stay bays on the surrounding streets covering most casual waiting. The station, rebuilt as part of the Cross-City line extension, has a modern forecourt better suited to a brief hold than a longer wait. Roads out toward the Lickey Hills climb quickly and narrow in places, slower than the short distance suggests.
