Lydney Town is a picturesque little halt on the Dean Forest Railway. It was constructed by the DFR and opened in 2001, but it replaces a much larger and more comprehensive station which operated on or near the site until 26th October 1960, upon which date services were brought to an abrupt halt by the destruction of the nearby Severn railway bridge. There were no trains on the day I took this.
