Bromborough railway station is one of two stations serving the Bromborough area of the Wirral, England. The station is situated on the Chester and Ellesmere Port branches of the Wirral Line, part of the Merseyrail network.
The station is on the former Chester and Birkenhead Railway, which opened in 1840. The station itself opened in 1841.
Direct train services to Liverpool began in 1985, when the line between Rock Ferry and Hooton was electrified; previously passengers for Liverpool had to change at Rock Ferry. Further electrification by British Rail in early 1990s allowed electric train services to be extended, first to Chester in 1993 and then Ellesmere Port in 1994.
The station is staffed, during all opening hours, and has platform CCTV. There is a payphone, a vending machine and a booking office. There are departure and arrival screens, on the platform, for passenger information. Each of the two platforms has sheltered seating. There is a free car park with 87 spaces, which is across Allport Road, a cycle rack with 8 spaces, and a secure cycle locker with 76 spaces. Access to the station booking office from Allport Road is straightforward. Access to each of the two platforms is by a stepped ramp or a staircase. This allows relatively easy access for passengers with wheelchairs or prams. Platform access has not been modernised to the standard of that at Hooton.
