The Honeybourne Line, Cheltenham

Sadly, virtually all of the Great Western Railway's presence in Cheltenham has disappeared, although the old route to Birmingham via Stratford upon Avon has been converted into a cycleway - dubbed the Honeybourne Line. Here there is an echo of Malvern Road East Junction where the short branch to the terminus at St James diverged. The main line last saw trains in 1977 and the branch in 1966.
