Opened in 1841 on the Great Western Railway's line from Swindon to Stroud, this station closed in 1964. Four years later, the line was singled. View north west towards Oaksey and Stroud, four years after the line had been redoubled - see Image for a 2010 view. The iron railings on the left that would have been at the rear of the platforms appear to be the only clue there was ever a station here.
