Stroud railway station is a railway station that serves the town of Stroud in Gloucestershire, England. The station is located on the Swindon-Gloucester "Golden Valley" line.

The station has two platforms, and is served by First Great Western: operating services from London Paddington to Gloucester and Cheltenham using HST and Adelante Class 180 trains, and local services from Swindon to Gloucester and Cheltenham using the former Wessex Trains Class 150 two carriage sets.

[edit] Current Services & Ticket Office Information

Stroud station is served on a Monday to Friday by:
> 18 Swindon bound trains, 8 of which continue to London Paddington via Reading
> 18 Gloucester bound trains, 17 of which continue to Cheltenham Spa.

The station does have a ticket office, located on the Swindon bound platform, which is open for the majority of the day 7 days a week:
Monday - Friday: 0630 to 1800
Saturday: 0715 to 1430
Sunday: 1030 to 1720

At times when the ticket office is closed, the station is unmanned.

The Greater Western Franchise's new timetable came into effect from 11th December 2006. Thanks to First Great Western, Stroud has benefited from an almost hourly clockface timetable throughout the day Monday to Friday, instead of the large and small gaps between services which can be seen in the previous timetable.
