Cheltenham High Street railway station was built by the Midland Railway to serve the north-western part of Cheltenham.

History

{{Cheltenham area RDT}}

The station was situated on the main Birmingham to Bristol railway line, to the south of the bridge where the line passes beneath Tewkesbury Road in Cheltenham, which is a continuation of, but quite remote from that known as the High Street.

It was opened on 1 September 1862 as Cheltenham Tewkesbury Road Bridge, and a month later, on 1 October, was renamed Cheltenham High Street.{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=59}}

The Midland and South Western Junction Railway (MSWJ) had reached Cirencester in 1883.{{sfn|Sands|Jenkins|1990|p=14}} On 1 August 1891 the MSWJ opened an extension from Cirencester to {{stnlnk|Andoversford}},{{sfn|Sands|Jenkins|1990|p=16}} which connected with the existing Banbury and Cheltenham Direct Railway; the MSWJ obtained permission to use that line to reach Cheltenham.{{sfn|Sands|Jenkins|1990|p=14}} The MSWJ passenger trains ran to {{stnlnk|Cheltenham (Lansdown)}}, whereas the goods trains continued a little further north, to Cheltenham High Street.{{sfn|Sands|Jenkins|1990|p=17}} The MSWJ built a locomotive depot adjacent to High Street station.{{sfn|Sands|Jenkins|1990|p=53}}

The station closed to passengers on 1 July 1910.{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=59}} The line remains open for passenger services between {{stnlnk|Birmingham New Street}} and {{stnlnk|Cheltenham Spa}}, but these do not call at Cheltenham High Street.
