Woofferton was initially a station on the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway (S&HR), later becoming a junction station with the Wyre Forest Line from [[Bewdley]]. The station name boards carried the name “Woofferton Junction” <Ref Name = "MS2007">Branch Lines around Cleobury Mortimer, Mitchell and Smith (2007)</ref>, although [[The Severn Valley Railway under GWR/BR ownership#Timetable extracts | timetables]] and tickets used the shortened name.
The station had two main line platforms, connected by a footbridge situated between the station building (nearest in the first photo above) and goods shed. It also had a bay platform used by the branch line trains and accessed via two diamond crossings over the main line. There were also a number of sidings. The signal box (SB in the OS Map of 1888-1913) stood in the junction of the S&HR line to the north and the “Bewdley Branch” to the east.
