Stonehouse Bristol Road closed to passengers under the Beeching Axe in 1965 and to goods traffic the following year.

The station has a ticket office, located on the Gloucester-bound platform; it is normally only open in the mornings, until the end of the peak period.

Passengers intending to alight at Stonehouse are advised earlier in their journeys to proceed along the train to the relevant coaches.

[5] These changes were required for introduction of Class 166 trains, which are longer than the previous rolling stock used on the line.

Great Western Railway operate services from London Paddington to Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa using Class 800s, and limited local services from Swindon to Gloucester and Cheltenham using Class 165 two carriage sets.
