History
Шаблон:Railways of the Forest of Dean The station was located at about 6 miles from Newnham.Шаблон:Sfn
The first idea of a railway station at Cinderford was pressed as early as 1876,[1] however construction on a station did not begin until 1898.Шаблон:Sfn
The station was opened for passengers on 2 July 1900 by the Severn and Wye Railway, with the first train being an excursion to Weston-Super-Mare via Parkend, Lydney and the Severn Railway Bridge.Шаблон:Sfn
A loop from Bilson junction was completed in April 1908 with a ruling gradient of 1 in 51 over a distance of approximately 30 chains, connecting the former Forest of Dean Railway and the Severn and Wye Railway in a terminus station.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Before this station was opened, Bilson Halt on the Forest Of Dean Branch temporarily served the town from August 1907 until the opening of the loop which connected the two railways.Шаблон:Sfn
The last day of passenger services was 1 November 1958. The 14:52 Newnham to Cinderford train consisted of four coaches hauled by a GWR 5700 Class pannier tank locomotive No. 7750 built at Swindon Works. The locomotive collected a Siphon-G from the goods siding at Cinderford (outgoing traffic from Rosedales plastics) and then formed the 16:08 return service to Newnham.Шаблон:Sfn
The station remained opened for goods traffic until the line was finally closed in 1967.Шаблон:Sfn
