[1] After the Second World War, and with the greater use of the motorbus and private cars, traffic on the line fell considerably.

[2] On 26 April 1958, a special train organised by the Stephenson Locomotive Society ran from Worcester Shrub Hill to Leominster, via Bromyard, calling at Rowden Mill, Fencote and Steens Bridge.

The 50 society members rode on the last train that would run on the complete track before it was removed.

The Worcester to Bromyard section was subsequently closed under the Beeching Axe in 1964.

[4] Rowden Mill station now operates as a holiday letting business, making the station buildings and a British Railways Inspection Saloon is available as accommodation to visiting guests.
