Railways legend Waterways legend
The Halt, which was just to the south of Letchers Bridge and Bilson Junction/Yard was located about 4 miles 61 chains from Newnham on a 1 in 1280 gradient.[1]
The station opened for passenger services when they were introduced in August 1907, the low platform was constructed from wood and two pagoda style buildings were provided from the outset.[2]
The Halt temporarily served Cinderford until the Bilson loop was opened which allowed trains to run into the Severn and Wye station that was closer to the town.[3]
The halt remained in unadvertised use until 1944, when it was finally removed.[4]
