Ruspidge Halt railway station is a disused railway station opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) on the former Bullo Pill Railway, later known as the GWR Forest of Dean Branch. ==History== The Halt, which was located about 4 miles 4 chains from Newnham on a 1 in 201 gradient. The station opened for Passenger services when they were introduced in August 1907, the low platform was constructed from stone and a stone building was provided from the outset. Before the commencement of passenger services the Forest of Dean Branch was worked by train staff in two sections - Bullo to Ruspidge and Ruspidge to Bilson. So in order so that the passenger services could be introduced the former goods office was converted for use as a booking office (it had both the railway and public telephones). The train staff working was also replaced by single line electric key token working and at this time a three-lever ground frame gave the porter control of the up and down distant signals and the gate bolts (which were interlocked). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruspidge Halt railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
