No, but the air is lower than it! All the local roads go over it, but
the A40 passes beneath it in a deep cutting, which is why you thought
it was up in the air.

You're quite right, and i realised my error as soon as i looked at a
picture. I have a distinct memory of the station floating in the air,
but i think this is a combination of the bridge, plus the fact that it's
uphill from the Master Brewer, where the coaches stop.

The ticket office is 'up in the air' and you have to cross a fairly
long elevated walkway to get to it. But the platforms are at ground
level and, as stated, the A40 is in a deep cutting below them.
