Site of Pontrilas Station Site of the former Pontrilas Station on the Marches Line between Newport and Hereford.  The station was opened in 1854 and closed in 1958, but campaigners are seeking its reopening as a parkway station (possibly on a slightly different site) to serve the local area and to close the 25 mile gap between Abergavenny and Hereford.
