Photograph Notes: The GWSR has built a two-coach platform on the site of the original Hayles Abbey Halt, about halfway between the Winchcombe and Toddington stations. The original Hayles Abbey Halt opened in 1928, with platforms lit by oil lamps maintained by porters at Toddington, whose stationmaster had overall responsibility for the halt. Provision of the halt coincided with the opening of a museum at nearby Hailes Abbey. The original halt closed in 1960 when the local passenger service was withdrawn from the Honeybourne Line and the entire line from Stratford to Cheltenham was closed by British Rail in August 1976. Hayles Abbey Halt resembles the original timber-built structure, with cast-iron Great Western notices, a corrugated-iron waiting shelter and traditional post-and-rail fencing. It's a single-platform, request-only stop for pedestrians and cyclists. The halt has a cast-iron ‘Beware of the Train’ sign and a replica running-in board, using the spelling used by Great Western of ‘Hayles’, not ‘Hailes’. The “new” halt was opened in 2017.
