Title: Kerne Bridge Station on TV
Post by: Mark A on March 17, 2025, 17:55:33
At the gym this afternoon and couldn't help noticing that one of those daytime property programmes was featuring Gloucestershire's  Kerne Bridge station building as a destination. Available at a cost that would probably once have funded the construction of the entire route from... was it Pontypool Road to Ross on Wye?

The prospective purchasers felt that while it was a lovely situation it fell short as something was missing. (Indeed. Track and a train service.)

Hmm.  :-X

Wikipedia locates Kerne Bridge railway station (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerne_Bridge_railway_station) in Herefordshire, rather than Gloucestershire.

The railway line itself was the Ross and Monmouth Railway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_and_Monmouth_Railway).
