Girtford Halt railway station
Girtford Halt was a railway station on the Varsity Line which served the hamlet of Girtford near Sandy in Bedfordshire, England. A short-lived railway halt, it was opened by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1938, only to close to passenger traffic two years later in 1940. The line itself closed in 1968 and the site of the station has been obliterated by a roundabout.
== History ==
In January 1938, the LMSR opened Girtford Halt at the point where the A1 crossed the Varsity Line, a little to the north of the small hamlet from which it took its name. A siding for vegetable traffic had existed on the station site since 1863 and this remained open. Passenger facilities consisted of little more than a raised concrete platform, access to which was had via the field to the rear of the station; tickets had to be purchased from a nearby garage. The station was, however, little used and passenger services were withdrawn in November 1940, the station remaining open for the purposes of freight until 1951.
