Dursley railway station

Dursley station was situated at the bottom of the town, in a marshy area that was later developed by the engineering group R A Lister and Company.

Though Listers and other factories provided considerable freight traffic for the railway, the distance from the town limited passenger numbers.

[1] The station opened with the line in 1856 and consisted of a single platform with a small brick building.

Journeys between Coaley Junction railway station and Dursley took only 10 minutes and around half a dozen trains were provided each day, with excursion traffic in the summer.

[3] Passenger traffic was vulnerable to competition from buses which served the town centre, and they ceased on 10 September 1962.
