[1] In 1883, a northwards extension, the Swindon and Cheltenham Extension Railway, opened from Swindon Town to Cirencester Watermoor, with further northward extension to a junction with the Great Western Railway's Cheltenham to Banbury line near Andoversford opening in 1891, enabling through trains from the Midlands to the south, through Ogbourne.

The station had a passing loop on the single track line, and this loop was lengthened by troops during the Second World War to handle the long trains and considerable movements on this railway that military activity brought.

No trace of the station now remains, the Swindon to Marlborough A346 road having been realigned to run on the former railway route in 1969–1970.

[2] The road now passes over what was the station forecourt and the small freight yard, which had a loading dock for local cattle that had been herded down the village high street en route to Swindon market.
