On 9 July 1859, the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway opened a line from Stratford-upon-Avon to Honeybourne.

[3][4] 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.

[12] It closed on 7 March 1960,[6][16] the same day on which the local passenger service was withdrawn from the Honeybourne Line.

[15] The underbridge to the north of the station was removed in August 1988 to allow tall machinery to access the British Gas facility at Laverton.

[19] The Heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, which is currently in the process of reopening a major section of the Honeybourne to Cheltenham line to Broadway, ran the first train to the site of Laverton Halt on 30 March 2011.
