Eastbury Halt railway station was a railway station in Eastbury, Berkshire, England on the Lambourn Valley Railway.[2]

History

The station opened on 4 April 1898 as Eastbury.[1] The vast majority of the station's traffic was milk; there was little demand for other goods and so the lack of a yard meant that the milk churns would be left on the platform to be collected.[1]

On 9 July 1934, the station became unstaffed and was renamed Eastbury Halt.[2][3]

The station closed to all traffic on 4 January 1960.[2]
