Hereford
The grand exterior of Hereford station on 26th February 2022. This station opened as Hereford Barrs Court on 6th December 1853 and became simply Hereford in 1893. Trains still run south to Newport, Cardiff, Swansea and south west Wales, north to Manchester and north-east to Birmingham as well as to and from London Paddington. However the line to Brecon via Hay-on-Wye was closed pre-Beeching on 31st December 1962 while that to Gloucester succumbed to Beeching on 2nd November 1964, isolating the popular tourist town of Ross-on-Wye. The main building to the Severn Valley Railway's Kidderminster Town station is based on the design of the former Ross-on-Wye station.
