History

The station opened as Evesham Road Crossing Halte on 17 October 1904 by the Great Western Railway. The spelling of the suffix 'halte' was corrected to 'halt' in April 1905. Being a halt, it was unmanned beside the nearby signal box which opened circa 1891[1] and operated the level crossing. The station closed on 14 July 1916, closing as a wartime economy measure but never opening again.[2][3]

gollark: Oh, I have a fun idea, I can use SQLite3 for storing data like which services are enabled.
gollark: Obviously this will have to know when a process exits so it can restart it, but people want to be able to stop/start/restart a service.
gollark: I see. So for my thing I suppose I'll just have to have a thread waiting for each process (ugh, but what can you do) and then... hope that if I kill that, `wait` will handle it okay.
gollark: Are those just magically callbacked?
gollark: But it's also able to respond to signals and start/stop it accordingly somehow.
