Honeybourne railway station

Wychavon, Italy

Honeybourne railway station serves the village of Honeybourne in Worcestershire, England. Opened in 1853, it is on the Cotswold Line and was formerly a busy junction with five platform faces, also serving trains on the Great Western Railway's Honeybourne Line between Cheltenham Spa and Stratford-upo

n-Avon, which formed part of a strategic route between the West Midlands and the West of England. The station was closed in 1969, after the withdrawal of stopping services to Stratford-upon Avon and closure to freight. Honeybourne was reopened in 1981, in connection with residential development near the station. The Heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway has reopened a 14-mile (23 km) section of the 22-mile (35 km)-long Honeybourne Line, between Broadway and Cheltenham Racecourse, and hopes to extend its operations a further 5 miles (8.0 km), to Honeybourne, for which Network Rail has made passive provision. The station is 101 miles 60 chains (163.8 km) measured from London Paddington, and is between Moreton-in-Marsh and Evesham.
