History
The line was opened in 1845 as the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway from Swindon to 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 with the introduction of the GWR steam railmotor services between Stonehouse and Chalford.
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, c. 1920. 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 following the withdrawal of local stopping passenger services on the line. No trace of the halt remains today.
Services
This halt was served by the Gloucester to Chalford local passenger services, known as the 'Chalford Auto'.
