Platform detail at Newent Station
The station has been closed since 1959 and the platforms largely buried under brambles. Recently the site has been cleared in connection with the restoration of the Hereford - Gloucester canal which ran here before the railway was built on its course. This brick arch - visible in old pictures of the station and probably used for point rodding or similar - has been exposed to the light of day as a result. Note the badly rusted piece of broad gauge rail "reinforcing" the top of the arch.

Broad gauge rail at Newent
The Great Western Railway used their redundant broad gauge rail as fenceposts, reinforcing bar and any number of other things. Nearly a hundred and thirty years after the last broad gauge line was converted to standard gauge, much of this stuff can still be seen around the rail network. This piece was spreading the load of whatever was above the arch seen in Image] and has seen better days!

Newent Station
Closed to passengers since 1959, the platforms of Newent station on the GWR Gloucester - Ledbury branch survive beneath this thicket of vegetation. It was all excavated recently by the Canal Society, but needs re-visiting urgently. The Hereford - Gloucester canal, the whitest of elephants, came this way and will again eventually.
