Photos of Newent Station.

 

I cant actually remember seeing any trains running here when I lived near here in the 60's.

 

However I can remember being a member of Newent Army Cadets aged about 13-14 and patrolling the disused line, I was carrying the bren Gun with another lad as my loader, whilst others patrolled with .303 rifles or an SMG

I can also remember walking through Newent Town Centre late evening carrying said Bren Gun.

 

Somehow I don't think that would be permitted these days
