History

The Junction is where the Mineral loop and branch to Parkhill Colliery branched off from the main Severn and Wye line from Lydney to Lydbrook and Cinderford. The single line diverged into three. All three lines were closed between the 1950s and 1970s.

The main line through the junction has been restored by the Dean Forest Railway which runs between Lydney Junction and Parkend.
