Winchcombe

article by: SteveOddy

Winchcombe is the northern terminus for our steam train services. Winchcombe station in common with a number of former Great Western Railway stations is not actually in the place it carries the name for and is situated in the village of Greet.

Winchcombe's facilities include a 1950's style coffee shop on the platform where you can have a drink or a snack before catching the train.

Please note that there is only limited car parking at Winchcombe Station although coaches can set-down and pick-up. Visitors to the Railway are recommended to board our steam trains at Cheltenham Race Course Station.

Unfortunately the GWR is not shown on the standard Google maps but select the "SAT" option top right and you will be able to see the line, including seeing it disappear into and reemerging from Greet tunnel to the west of Winchcombe station.

For those of you using sat navs the post code for Winchcombe station is GL54 5LB.
