The station in 1961

Bourton-on-the-Water railway station was a Gloucestershire railway station on the Great Western Railway's Banbury and Cheltenham Direct Railway which opened in 1881 and closed in 1964.

History

The Bourton-on-the-Water railway station was situated just to the north of the village and served surrounding villages like Lower Slaughter. It was rebuilt in 1936 by the Chief Architect to the Great Western Railway, Percy Emerson Culverhouse. The station was host to a GWR camp coach in 1935, 1938 and 1939.[1]

The station passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. The last passenger service to the station was on 13 October 1962. Goods services between the station and Cheltenham ceased in 1962 with the service between Bourton and Kingham closing a year later.

Present day

Following closure, the station was used as a highways depot by Gloucestershire County Council. The (last) station building, built in the 1930s, was demolished in 2011.

The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway had considered reusing the building at its Broadway railway station, but later changed its mind.[9]
