Whitecroft & Bream railway station is a railway station on the Dean Forest Railway.
The station originally opened on 23 September 1875, and closed on 8 July 1929.[1] It was re-opened to passengers on 25 May 2012 after a construction period of around 18 months.[2]
Much of the funding for the restoration programme came from a Rural Development grant, administered by the Forest of Dean Local Action Group in Coleford. The programme of work involved the construction of a four-coach platform on the Pillowell (up) side of the line, with the new station building be constructed in traditional Severn and Wye style.[3]
Future developments in Whitecroft will include doubling the track through the station, the construction of the second (down) platform on the Bream side of the line and the addition of a goods shed.[4]
