This is the second volume of what will be a three-part-series covering the history of the Stroud Valley Railway between Kemble and Standish Junction.
This volume chronicles the important developments of the post-broad gauge period – the signalling, the addition of Chalford station, the early railmotor services between Stonehouse and Chalford, the GWR motor bus services, the never realised schemes to build a railway to Painswick, and the emergence of Kemble from a basic changing-point for Cirencester with no road access to a fully-fledged junction station also serving its namesake village.
Chapter List:
- The Post-Broad Gauge Years, 1873–1913
- Kemble Station
