Chedworth railway station

Chedworth railway station

Chedworth railway station was on the Midland and South Western Junction Railway in Gloucestershire. The station opened on 1 October 1892, 14 months after the opening of the section of the line between Cirencester Watermoor and the junction at Andoversford with the Great Western Railway's Cheltenham Lansdown to Banbury line, which had opened in 1881. Villagers at Chedworth had complained that the station provided at Foss Cross was inconvenient.

The original station was very small and used an old railway carriage on the single platform as the waiting shelter. It was relocated a little further north when the line was made double track in 1902. No goods facilities were provided.

The station was always lightly used and from 1925 it was downgraded to halt status, with staffing entirely withdrawn in 1954. The line closed to all traffic in 1961 and the station buildings were demolished.
