Cheltenham Spa railway station serves the spa town of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, England. Situated on the Bristol–Birmingham main line, it is managed by Great Western Railway, although most services are operated by CrossCountry. The station is about one mile from the town centre. The official name of the town is simply Cheltenham but, when the station was renamed in 1925, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway chose to add Spa to the station name.^[1] It is a regional interchange and the busiest station in Gloucestershire, as well as one of the busiest railway stations in South West England.
