Branch Lines to Leominster and Kington

Leominster today is a two platform station on a double line of plain track but once it was the junction for branch lines heading east to Bromyard and Worcester, and west to Kington and New Radnor. Before reaching Kington, this latter branch passed through Titley Junction, where further branches from Eardisley, on the Hereford, Hay & Brecon line, and Presteign also came in. All of these branches are now long gone, with some having much longer working lives than others, but all once performed a vital function for the communities they served.Join us here as we travel through some glorious countryside, on ex-GWR diesel railcars and Class ‘122’ units between Worcester and Bromyard, or in the brake van of a short freight hauled by a Class ‘14XX’ 0-4-2 tank on its way to Presteign or passing the delightful Forge Crossing deep in the woods near Kington all in glorious colour!
