Haresfield served only the Midland Railway despite Great Western Railway's (GWR) to services running on parallel tracks. Passengers at the Haresfield station were not able to board passing GWR trains, as the GWR never built a station there.

Haresfield never provided any freight facilities and it closed to passenger services on 4 January 1965 along with other stations on the Bristol to Gloucester line. Today, the four tracks (two Midland and two GWR) have been realigned and no trace of the station remains.
