Burton Dassett Halt was a railway station on the former Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway in Warwickshire, England.

History

It was opened in 1871 as Warwick Road by the East and West Junction Railway on its route from Stratford-upon-Avon to Fenny Compton near the village of Burton Dassett. However it was closed in 1873.

It was reopened as Burton Dassett Platform in 1909 by the newly formed Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway at the junction with the proposed Edge Hill Light Railway. However it closed again within three years, only to be opened once again in 1933 as Burton Dassett Halt. It then remained open until approximately 1946.
