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.  Lips sealed

Wikipedia locates Kerne Bridge railway station in Herefordshire, rather than Gloucestershire.

The railway line itself was the Ross and Monmouth Railway.

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
