History

The station opened on 3 September 1873 by the Great Western Railway. It was situated on the Station Approach road. In 1898, the platforms were extended and a new signal box opened on the south end of the up platform. The principal traffic was coal and passengers. The track ran through the Pensford Viaduct and it was 330 yards long. The track has since been lifted but the arches still remain today.[1] The station closed to passengers on 2 November 1959 and to goods traffic on 15 June 1964.[2]
