Kerne Bridge Station on TV

« on: Yesterday at 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.

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

The railway line itself was the Ross and Monmouth Railway.

William Huskisson MP^▸ 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.
