Project Toddington Station

The original station opened in 1904 as part of the Great Western Railway’s Honeybourne Line, serving the local community and the surrounding fruit-growing industry until its closure in 1960. It is located to the north east of Cheltenham on the edge of the Cotswolds

Two decades later, Toddington’s railway story came back to life. In 1981, a small band of enthusiasts chose this very site to begin their dream of restoring steam to the Cotswolds. With little more than determination, a few tools, and a shared vision, they cleared decades of overgrowth, rebuilt the track and platforms, and laid the foundations of what would become the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway.

An excellent opportunity for photographers with all sorts going on around the site. I took lots of photographs although only a small number are recorded on this page.
