Wappenham railway station

[3] A small wayside station was constructed in an isolated spot about a mile from the village of Wappenham from which it took its name.

The siding was linked to the main line at each end, forming a loop which enabled the yard to be shunted by up or down trains.

A symmetrical red brick station building crowned by two large chimneys, similar in style to those at Fairford and Alvescot on the East Gloucestershire Railway, was situated next to the platform and had a central door which led to the waiting room and a separate ladies' waiting room, as well as the ticket and parcels offices; staff accommodation was at the east end of the structure whilst the gentleman's toilets were at the opposite end.

[4] The station served as a useful railhead not only for Wappenham, but also the nearby villages of Slapton and Abthorpe, whose farming communities made use of it for hay and cattle traffic.

The station buildings were demolished after closure and a sewage treatment works has been built on the former railway alignment.
