Hayles Abbey Halt railway station

Hayles Abbey Halt railway station was a halt opened by the Great Western Railway on the Honeybourne Line from to Cheltenham which served the hamlet of Hailes in Gloucestershire, as well as the nearby Hailes Abbey, between 1928 and 1960. The line through the site of the station was reinstated in 1987 by the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, although no new halt was provided.
== History ==
On 9 July 1859, the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway opened a line from to . The OW&W became the West Midland Railway in 1860 and was acquired by Great Western Railway in 1883 with a view to combining it with the Birmingham to Stratford Line to create a high-speed route from the Midlands to the South West. The GWR obtained authorisation in 1899 for the construction of a double-track line between Honeybourne and Cheltenham and this was completed in stages by 1908.
Hayles Abbey Halt was opened on 24 September 1928. Situated from Honeybourne East Loop, the station consisted of two facing platforms constructed of sleepers, on each of which was a small corrugated iron passenger waiting shelter. Footpaths from the adjacent road led to the platforms which were lit by oil lamps maintained by porters at whose stationmaster had overall responsibility for the station.
The provision of the halt coincided with the opening of a museum at nearby Hailes Abbey, a ruined Cistercian abbey founded in 1246 by Richard of Cornwall. By July 1932, the station was served by six daily railmotor services from to Cheltenham and back, plus one Honeybourne to and back. The Sunday offering consisted of two services from Honeybourne to Cheltenham and back. Nearly 30 years later, the final timetable for Hayles Abbey Halt showed the same service pattern, the only difference being an additional service to Honeybourne on weekdays. The station closed on 7 March 1960, the same day on which the local passenger service was withdrawn from the Honeybourne Line.
