The station was opened by the Oxford, Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway in 1852, the station is actually nearer to the village of Pinvin, Pershore being around 1.6km away to the south. The station was a much grander affair than it is nowadays with two platforms and a goods yard. There was also a horse loading dock (the station being near a racecourse). The goods yard closed in 1964 [1]. The line through Pershore was singled in 1971 [2], one platform was closed though traces of it can still be seen. The service was greatly reduced with just one train a day in both directions throughout most of the 1970s.
The modern station has the usual bus shelter and information screen facilities of an unstaffed station. The station is managed by Great Western Railway, an hourly service is maintained between London Paddington and Worcester Foregate Street, some trains going onwards to Great Malvern and Hereford.
