Combe railway station serves the village of Combe in Oxfordshire, England. It is on the Cotswold Line. This station and all trains serving it are run by Great Western Railway.
It was opened as Combe Halt by the Great Western Railway in 1935, originally having two platforms.[1] In 2012, it was equipped with the modern Customer Information display screen now found on most First Great Western stations, plus an automatic train announcement system.
The station is about half a mile from the village of Combe (to the NW) and the hamlet of Combe East End (to the NE).
Services
[edit]Since at least February 1999 the station has been served by a minimal service of two trains per day, one in each direction.[2]
This service is currently formed of the 08:13 train to Didcot Parkway and the 17:36 train to Moreton-in-Marsh which operate Monday-Friday only. There are currently no weekend services at the station with a normal service running on most Bank Holidays.[3]
