Rail Closures and the original Daffodil Line.
The Ledbury and Gloucester Railway was known as the Daffodil Line.
The Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal, which was inaugurated in 1798. The canal was leased to the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1863 as the canal was struggling financially. Conversion to a railway began in 1881. The railway was built by two companies: the Newent Railway and the Ross and Ledbury Railway. Colonel F. H. Rich inspected the line in July 1885, and it officially opened on 27 July. The GWR operated the railway, eventually merging with both smaller companies in 1892.
