The Cheltenham Spa Railway Station was opened in 1840. The railway serves both Cheltenham and Gloucestershire; it is managed by Great Western Railway and is about one mile from the town center.
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.
The train station sees 8 - 12 trains per hour Monday - Saturday and less frequently on Sundays, much like all public transport. Great Western Railway operate from Cheltenham to Swindon via Glouester, some extending to Reading & London Paddington, and Bristol to Gloucester, Cheltenham Spa and Worcester Shrub Hill route.
There are three Cross-Country routes; the Cardiff Central to Birmingham New Street/Nottingham service, the longer-distance Penzance/Plymouth - Cheltenham Spa - Glasgow Central, with extensions to Aberdeen, and the Bristol Temple Meads - Manchester Piccadilly routes.
