Stockcross and Bagnor Halt railway station was a railway station near Newbury, Berkshire, England on the Lambourn Valley Railway.[2] It served the villages of Stockcross and Bagnor.
The station opened on 4 April 1898.[3] Originally named Stockcross, it soon became Stockcross and Bagnor.[4]
It was staffed until 1905, after which station staff would be drafted in from nearby Boxford railway station as necessary. On 9 July 1934, the station was down-classified to a "halt".
The station often dealt with light goods, including dairy produce. It was used to transport racehorses to and from the nearby Marsh Benham stud.
