Kemble railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Kemble in Gloucestershire, England. The station is on the {{rws|Swindon}} to {{rws|Gloucester}} "Golden Valley" line. Despite its rural location, Kemble station has a high number of passengers, due mainly to the proximity of Cirencester. HistoryThe station was opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) as an exchange station on 12 May 1845 with the line opening from Swindon to Gloucester. Only on 1 May 1882 did it become a public station replacing the nearby {{stnlnk|Tetbury Road}}.[1] Until the 1960s the station was a junction, with services to the nearby market towns of {{rws|Cirencester Town||Cirencester}} (to the northeast) and {{rws|Tetbury}} (southwest). Both the Tetbury branch line and the Cirencester Branch Line were closed to traffic under The Reshaping of British Railways, the first day without service being 6 April 1964. British Rail reduced the line to Swindon to single track in 1968 but the second track was reinstated in 2014 (see Golden Valley Line). DescriptionThe station has two platforms in use. The former Tetbury bound platform remains but the track has been lifted. The building on the down platform (no. 2) has been out of use for several years, containing toilets and a waiting room, which are still in situ. On the former Cirencester platform, a short stub of track remains for the occasional stabling of track machines. This ends at a buffer stop just before the station car park. In 2013, Cotswold District Council refused an application by Network Rail to demolish part of the Grade II listed Cirencester bay platform in connection with the redoubling of the line from Swindon.[2] According to the Council, the platform was still in a good state of repair and any public benefit from the demolition would not outweigh the damage that would be caused to the historical significance of the station.[2] The station has a ticket office and a small café. The limestone bridge, at the south end of the station, was Grade II listed from 5 Nov 2015[3] and the station[4] and water tank from 27 Feb 1986.[5] ServicesGreat Western Railway operates services from London Paddington to {{stnlnk|Gloucester}} and {{rws|Cheltenham Spa}} using HST trains and local services from {{rws|Swindon}} to Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa using the Great Western Railway {{BRC|150}}, {{BRC|153}} and {{BRC|158}} DMUs. Kemble station is served on a Monday to Friday by:
Making an off peak service of one train every two hours to London, with trains to Swindon, Cheltenham and Gloucester every hour. The station is occasionally served by Cardiff Central / {{rws|Swansea}} services diverted during engineering works. On Sundays there are twelve trains each way, seven of which run to or from London. {{rail start}}{{rail line two routes|previous={{rws|Swindon}}|next={{rws|Stroud}}|route1= Great Western RailwayLondon/Swindon - Cheltenham |col1={{FGW colour}} |route2= Great Western Railway Cheltenham-Westbury |col2={{FGW colour}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line two to two |previous1={{rws|Tetbury Road}} Line open, station closed |next1={{stnlnk|Minety and Ashton Keynes}} Line open, station closed |next2={{rws|Oaksey Halt}} Line open, station closed |route=Great Western Railway Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{Disused Rail Insert}}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Park Leaze Halt}} Line and station closed |route=Great Western Railway Cirencester Branch Line |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{rail line |previous={{rws|Jackament's Bridge Halt}} Line and station closed |route=Great Western Railway Tetbury branch line |col={{GWR colour}} }}{{s-end}} References1. ^{{cite book |title=Railway Passenger Stations in Great Britain |first=Michael |last=Quick |year=2009 |page=229 }} 2. ^1 {{cite journal|first1=Chris|last1=Milner|title=Platform demolition refused|journal=The Railway Magazine|issue=1,348|volume=159|date=August 2013|page=89}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1429827|title=Railway bridge approximately 110m south of Kemble Station, Kemble - 1429827{{!}} Historic England|last=|first=|date=|website=historicengland.org.uk|access-date=2017-05-23}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1304289|title=KEMBLE STATION, Kemble - 1304289{{!}} Historic England|last=|first=|date=|website=historicengland.org.uk|access-date=2017-05-23}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1089288|title=WATER TANK ON WEST PLATFORM OF KEMBLE STATION, Kemble - 1089288{{!}} Historic England|last=|first=|date=|website=historicengland.org.uk|access-date=2017-05-23}} 6. ^{{NRtimes|May 2016|125}} External links{{commons category|Kemble railway station}}
