Station

Opened on 1 June 1870, it initially had one platform. However, as part of a scheme that saw several halts opened on the GWR with Railmotor services to counter road competition, a passing place was put in and Rodwell gained another platform and a signal box. The station closed with the branch in 3 March 1952.[1]

The site today

The former trackbed of the line is now part of the Rodwell Trail footpath. The former platforms are still in place, just south of the tunnel, under a road and the former Portwey Hospital site.
