History
The station opened as Broad Marston Halte on 17 October 1904 by the Great Western Railway. The spelling of the suffix 'halte' was later corrected to 'halt'. It initially had only one platform but a second one was added on 28 April 1907. The station closed on 14 July 1916, closing as a wartime economy measure but never opening again.[1][2]
gollark: So... minarchism?
gollark: Yes, I feel like big organizations mostly end up wildly inefficiently managed and just make up for it with economies of scale.
gollark: In terms of actual political beliefs rather than random tests, I lean... libcenter, and agree with Georgism.
gollark: This is what the more libright one says.
gollark: It matched me to "libertarianism", "green libertarianism", "*theocratic monarchy*" (???), "minarchism", "geo-libertarianism" and "conservative libertarianism", which is odd.
