The Severn & Wye branch to Coleford was quite a fierce affair, I bet it caused some problems over the years. At least they didnt have to contend with Glasgow sleepers! | |||||||

Gradient Profile of the Monmouth and Coleford Railway. Lower Redbrook Tunnel is on the first bit of 1:54, not much fun, and on a curve as well, Newland Tunnel is on the 1:56/67 after Newland Station. |

Level Crossing at Newland Station looking towards Coleford, the gate has obviously been transported here from elsewhere. |

20/10/2012 Lydbrook Cable Works, very difficult to see how a site of this size could be used again, virtualy no chance of a company wanting to take it on, which leaves an Industrial Estate or houses, which I very much doubt the area could support. |

20/10/2012 Lydbrook Bridge. The walkway is now raising concerns, as to its safety. Inspite some peoples objection of railways being converted into footpaths or cycleways, it will be the need for a footpath that saves the bridge here. |

20/10/2012 Looking towards Lydbrook Tunnel, with a curiously placed and sized Pill Box alongside the trackbed, guarding Lydbrook Bridge. I presume it goes down a fair way, rather than being built for height challenged soldiers. |
