Bishop's Cleeve railway station was a railway station that served the village of Bishop's Cleeve in Gloucestershire, England.
It was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1906, on its line between Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham. It closed in March 1960,[2] though the line itself remained open until 1976. The track was later lifted.
From 1997 to 2001 the line was relaid by the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway (G-WR) through the station site and later reopened in 2003,[3] though there are currently no plans to rebuild the station site, as of September 2016.
The Midland Railway also opened a station, called Cleeve, on the nearby Birmingham and Gloucester Railway in 1843.[4]
