History
The railway line between Cheltenham and Шаблон:Stnlnk opened on 4 November 1840, the final section of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway (B&G) which had been authorised in 1836.[1] At first, there were no intermediate stations, but on 9 August 1842 the first station at Churchdown was opened by the B&G; it proved to be temporary, being closed again on 27 September.[2] Less than a year later, on 22 August 1843, a station opened closer to Cheltenham at nearby Шаблон:Stnlnk.[3][4] Both stations were built in response to request from the residents of Badgeworth for a station closer than Cheltenham or Gloucester; Churchdown was the first choice of the railway company since it was closer to the half-way point between the two towns.[5]
The permanent station at Churchdown was opened on 2 February 1874, and was the joint property of the Midland Railway (successor to the B&G) and the Great Western Railway,[2][6] who had shared the line since 1847.[7]
The station closed on 2 November 1964,[2] as part of the reshaping of British Railways or more commonly known as the Beeching Axe by Dr Beeching.
The site of the station is Шаблон:Convert from Derby.[4] Little remains of the station itself next to what is now Station Close, but through traffic continues on the line.
