Elms Bridge Halt railway station

Former railway station in Wales

Elms Bridge Halt was a request stop on the former Coleford, Monmouth, Usk and Pontypool Railway. It was opened on 27 November 1933[1] to serve the villages near Raglan, Monmouthshire. It was closed in 1955[2] following the withdrawal of passenger services on the line. It was located in a small cutting near a small road bridge about 5 miles and 56 chains from Monmouth Troy. The halt was of earth and cinder construction, typical of the Great Western Railway.[3]
