Two lost Cheltenham stations
This short video from 1965 shows two lost stations.
The video brings back memories; what motivated you to put it up?
There were more stations lost in Cheltenham than that. At the same time I remember losing our local Leckhampton Road Station. Non passenger trains still used the track for a while, but later a line that served Cotswold villages (and I think went to Oxford) was ripped up. Only vestiges of the route remain in odd places.
