Pentrepiod Halt railway station (Monmouthshire)

Pentrepiod Halt, Monmouthshire is a former railway station that was located approximately 2 miles north of Pontypool in Monmouthshire. The station was on the Great Western Railway's Newport - Pontypool - Blaenavon - Brynmawr Eastern Valley "Upper Level" line. The line opened to passengers in 1879 but the station at Pentrepiod was not added until 1912. As passenger services along the entire route were withdrawn in May 1941 (ostensibly due to wartime economies, but they never resumed after hostilities ended) the station had an active life of less than 30 years. The line never generated much passenger traffic as it only served a number of small catchments and had only been opened (originally by the LNWR) as a competitor to the Great Western Railway "Lower Line" which ran from Newport - Blaena
