Boxford railway station was a railway station in Boxford, Berkshire, England on the Lambourn Valley Railway. ^[2] The hut has been saved from being destroyed as a disused bus shelter and is now being restored by the GWSR for use on their site.

History

The station opened on 4 April 1898. It was staffed until 1954; between 1904 and 1940 it was overseen by Charlie Brown, a local man employed by the Great Western Railway. ^[1]

The station had few passenger facilities, and dealt primarily with small goods. ^[2] Boxford was the first stop on the line with a siding, which also functioned as a passing loop. ^[1]

The station closed to all traffic in 1960. ^[2] The station's wooden shelter is now used as a bus shelter in the village. ^{[2] [3]}
