After many campaigns by villagers [2] Ashdon Halt was finally opened by the Great Eastern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. Passing on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed by the British Railways Board.
