Summary

edit
Description
English: Gloucester Eastgate railway station (site), Gloucestershire
Opened in 1896 by the Midland Railway to replace terminus platforms dating from 1840 adjacent to the current Gloucester (formerly Central) station, this station closed in 1975. The site has been completely redeveloped for a supermarket. View north east towards Churchdown and Cheltenham Spa. The platforms curved round to the right to allow through running from Bristol to Cheltenham Spa without the need for trains to reverse, which had been a problem with the 1840 station. Since this station closed, trains from Bristol to Cheltenham Spa which call at Gloucester now have to reverse again, just like they did in 1841...
