Was Tintern Quarry Siding situated on the main running line of the Wye Valley Railway or on the branch line that led into the quarry?

 

Tintern came prior to Brockweir Halt in the direction we are travelling....but to continue...

Llandogo Halt

 

Penallt Halt

 

Wyresham Halt

 

Matters after further research has been made into the above matter.

What to bear in mind in cases such as this is this was not a "passenger service" under the normal understanding of that terminology, but a special service solely for the workers of the quarry, which may well have been operationally useful in removing loaded waggons of stone after the workers had been disembarked. In South Wales, whilst many colliery halts were situated on main running lines, there were also a good number to such halts that were situated on the branch lines, especially if that branch line to a colliery was of quite some length, thus saving the miners a long walk to the colliery itself. I had noticed the wireworks branch, but have a feeling that only goods inwards and outwards were the only train usage on that particular branch

If at any time a definite ruling is made, with clear documentary proof that it was actually situated on the main running line, then I will consider this to be acceptable as a posting entry, but until such proof is forthcoming, I cannot allow it.

Have a look at Rule 12 in the rules, which does cover the fact that if any station of this type is actually on the main running line of a railway and not situated on a branch.
