The station was nationalised in 1948. Coal brought to the station by rail on the Great Western Railway's Docks branch from Over, and by barge.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =RAILWAYS IN GLOUCESTER AND CHURCHDOWN THE YEARS AFTER 1845 )〕 Once at the station, coal was transported toward the boilers by a fireless locomotive, one of only 162 ever built in Britain. It was built by Andrew Barclays of Kilmarnock in 1942, carrying the works number 2126. After the closure of the station, it was preserved at the National Waterways Museum in Gloucester.〔 The station closed in 1969.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =LLANTHONY ROAD GOODS YARD GLOUCESTER )〕 The station was demolished for charity in 1978 by Gloucester Round Table.〔
