But in 1932, after the M&SWJR had been taken over by the Great Western Railway in the 1923 Grouping, a halt was built for the village in an effort to generate traffic in the face of competition from road transport.

The construction of the station was fairly rudimentary: railway sleeper platforms with corrugated iron shelters.

No staff were ever provided and tickets were sold at No 54 High Street.

There are no traces of Collingbourne Kingston Halt today, apart from a road bridge over the former line.
