| Description |
English: Patchway 1st railway station (site), Gloucestershire Opened in 1863 by the Bristol & South Wales Union Railway, later part of the Great Western Railway, on the line from Bristol to New Passage (for ferry connections across the Bristol Channel). This station closed in 1885 when it was replaced by the current Patchway station. The line was diverted (and lowered here) into the new Severn Tunnel which opened in 1886, rendering the New Passage branch redundant. View south east towards the replacement Patchway (out of sight around the curve) and Bristol. The first station was in the middle distance and was two parallel platforms, although the line to New Passage was just single track. |
