There used to be 5 railway stations in Cheltenham, now there is
only one. Two branch lines were also closed, though the track bed
of one still exists as a cycle path.

Does the viaduct still exist near Andoversford junction? I used to
look out for the daily Southern loco at Lansdown Bridge, coming to
Cheltenham via the Midland and South Western Junction Railway (Via
Swindon Town and Cirencester Watermoor). I'm guessing the 5 stations
were Lansdown, Malvern Road, St James, Racecourse (still in use?) and
Charlton Kings?



Alas, the viaduct was demolished decades ago.

The stations : Lansdown (still in use), Malvern Road, St James, Charlton
Kings & Leckhampton.

The Racecourse station went out of use for a while, but is now
refurbished, but it no longer connects to the Cheltenham end.
