Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Abandoned railway station at Goodwick/ Wdig
This was once the Fishguard & Goodwick station of the Great Western Railway. British Railways closed it in 1961. The building is timber framed, with weatherboard cladding - very typical of 19th- and early 20th century railway structures.

If a railway line is well used, the contact surface of the rails looks bright and shiny. Here the track is dull and rusty. At present just two trains run to Fishguard Harbour each day, to connect with ferry sailings, and that means that one of them is in the middle of the night - of little use to local residents. However, things could be about to change.

Belated UPDATE, September 2016: Things did indeed change, and quite dramatically. Not long after I took this photograph the station was completely rebuilt, and regular services were re-instated in May 2012. In John Lucas's contribution the scene seems completely transformed: SM9438 : A train departing from Fishguard and Goodwick Station.
