Purton railway station was in operation on the Swindon to Gloucester line in Wiltshire, England, between 1841 and 1964.

[1] Trains run along the Golden Valley Line through from London Paddington via Reading, Didcot Parkway and Swindon, then past the three closed stations of Purton, Minety and Oaksey Halt to Kemble, continuing to Stroud, Stonehouse, Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.

Originally laid as dual-track, British Rail reduced the line between Kemble and Swindon to single-track in 1968.

Network Rail investigated the options for reinstating the second track, along with the estimated cost (see Golden Valley Line).

In the 2011 Budget the Government announced that funding for the redoubling was to be provided[2] and the works were completed in August 2014.
