History
Tidenham Station was the first station after Wye Valley Junction on the Wye Valley Railway. It was opened in November 1876 as one of the four main stations on the line, the others being Tintern, St. Briavels and Redbrook on Wye. It consisted of a loop, signal box, platform and station building.
Tidenham Station became the first station to close on the line on 1 January 1917, this was a wartime measure to release staff and the station was re-opened on 1 February 1918.
The station closed completely in 1959 due to the withdrawal of passenger services on the line. It was converted into a loading bay for the nearby Dayhouse Quarry and was used until c. 1990. It was the last section to be closed on the Wye Valley Railway.[1]
