Sections of a 1957 notice appear below notifying passengers ot changes to services due to the closure of the line between Broadway and Toddington as a result of a land slip in the cutting immediately north of Toddington station. Local services continued between Honeybourne and Cheltenham with bus transfer between the two sections whilst the long distance trains were diverted away. Below these is a copy of a flyer issued later that same year advertising the start of new diesel services between Birmingham and South Wales.
