The station was originally called Leckhampton, but acquired its longer name in 1906 when a through express train service between Newcastle upon Tyne and Swansea was routed along the Banbury to Cheltenham line: the express did not pass through any of the main Cheltenham stations, and the renaming of Leckhampton, where it called, was intended to show passengers that there was a Cheltenham service on the train.
