| Notes: Barbers Bridge was the first intermediate station (north 
                of Gloucester) on the Ledbury & Gloucester Railway. Originally 
                line began as two concerns, the Ledbury to Ross line via Dymock 
                and The Newent Railway, which was to leave the Ledbury to Ross 
                line at Dymock to reach the Great Western Railway at Over Junction 
                to the west of Gloucester. Both companies gained parliamentary 
                approval in 1873 but due to financial difficulties nothing happened 
                for another 3 years. By this time the Ross & Ledbury Railway 
                had abandoned their plans to reach Ross and linked with the Newent 
                railway to provide a through route from Ledbury to Gloucester. 
                For much of its length the railway was built on the line of the 
                Hereford & Gloucester Canal. By the early 1920's there were 5 trains each way on weekdays 
                only. On the 13th July, 1959 the line was closed to passenger 
                traffic, with the section from Ledbury to Dymock closing completely 
                but the Gloucester end of the track continued to be used for goods 
                traffic until 30th May, 1964. |
