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 station is Cheltenham; however, when the station was renamed in 1925, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway chose to add Spa to the station name. It is a regional interchange and the second busiest station in Gloucestershire, as well as one of the busiest railway stations in South West England.
