HistoryThe line was opened in 1845 as the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway from {{stnlnk|Swindon}} to {{stnlnk|Gloucester}} and this was one of many small stations and halts built on this line for the local passenger service. This halt opened on 12 October 1903{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=82}} with the introduction of the GWR steam railmotor services between Stonehouse and {{stnlnk|Chalford}}.{{sfn|Mitchell|Smith|2005|loc=fig. 94}} The halt was between Stroud and Stonehouse, and originally consisted of a pair of ground level platforms, but was these subsequently replaced by standard height platforms along with GWR pagoda style shelters, {{circa|1920}}.{{sfn|Mitchell|Smith|2005|loc=fig. 94}} The platforms were later reconstructed with brick. Access to the halt was from the adjacent level crossing. Closure of the halt came on 2 November 1964{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=82}} following the withdrawal of local stopping passenger services on the line. No trace of the halt remains today. ServicesThis halt was served by the Gloucester to {{stnlnk|Chalford}} local passenger services, known as the 'Chalford Auto'. {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line |next=StroudLine and station open |previous=Cashes Green Halt Line open, station closed|route=Great Western Railway Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{rail end}} NotesReferences
