Bentham
and
Little Witcombe

Despite its small size and being situated nearly a mile south of the line, in 1843 Badgeworth was provided with a
station
on the newly opened
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway
(later part of the
Midland Railway
and subsequently the
LMS
), but this was a very early casualty, closing as early as 1846.
