The station opened on 2 February 1857 and closed on 3 October 1966.[1] Very little remains, as the station site was replaced with improved trackwork for a nearby junction. The only significant remains are the gateposts at the head of the approach road.[2] HistoryThe main line of the Great Western Railway (GWR) opened in stages, and was completed on 30 June 1841 with the opening of the stretch between {{stnlnk|Chippenham}} and {{stnlnk|Bath}}; there were initially two intermediate stations, at {{stnlnk|Corsham}} and at {{stnlnk|Box}}.[3] The Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway (WS&WR) opened between Thingley Junction (west of Chippenham) and {{stnlnk|Westbury}} on 5 September 1848; it was absorbed by the GWR on 14 March 1850.[4] The Act of Parliament authorising the WS&WR had stipulated that it should also build a branch line connecting its main line to Bath, in order to communicate with Bristol, but owing to difficulty in obtaining finance, this was not proceeded with.[5] A lawsuit was successfully brought against the GWR in 1853, and on 31 July 1854, the GWR obtained a fresh Act of Parliament granting an extension of time for the completion of the branch, and this was opened on 2 February 1857 from Bradford Junction, a triangular junction at {{stnlnk|Trowbridge}} on the former WS&WR line, to a new station at Bathampton on the GWR main line.[6] It had been planned that this station would be the interchange point for trains on the branch to {{stnlnk|Bradford-on-Avon}}, but once the Bradford-on-Avon service commenced, it normally ran through to Bath. Bathampton station was mainly used by the people who lived in eastern Bath.[7] The station had two platforms, used by both main line and branch trains; the junction of the two routes was at the eastern end of the station.[7] The main and branch lines had been built to the broad gauge; during June 1874, the main line from the junction to the west was altered to mixed gauge, and the Bradford-on-Avon branch was converted to standard gauge;[8] the main line from the junction to the east was altered to mixed gauge in March 1875;[9] and the main line was altered from mixed gauge to standard gauge in May 1892.[10] The main line was always double track, but the branch, which had been built as single-track, was doubled in May 1885. The station had several sidings, some of which served a timber works. There were two signal boxes, Bathampton and Bathampton West, which were replaced by a single signal box on 21 September 1956.[7] Accidents and incidents
