  • Chepstow railway station is a part of the British railway system owned by Network Rail and is operated by Arriva Trains Wales. It is located quite close to the town centre, at Station Road, Chepstow. Chepstow is a historic walled border town and ancient port, situated at the foot of the Wye Valley, two hours from London. It was formerly the junction station for the Wye Valley Railway to Monmouth Troy Station until this line closed to passengers in 1959. The railway has since been extensively rationalised and currently consists of a double track line with a trailing crossover to the east of the station, plus some disused track in the former yard. Although numerous trains pass through the station, the local train service is sporadic, running at best an hourly service in each direction. The station is unmanned apart from occasional Saturday mornings or when major events occur at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff when a temporary kiosk may be opened. Recorded information, not always up to date, may be obtained via a push button speaker system located on both platforms. Station buildings on the Gloucester/Birmingham side are traditional stone and timber-built structures, the canopy providing plenty of shelter. Unfortunately, on the more popular Newport/Cardiff side, there is just a small breeze block-built shelter. Access to this platform is via a wooden footbridge, making it difficult for passengers with pushchairs and the old and the infirm to cross. The nearest bus stop is a 5 minute walk away in the Tesco car park, however the service from here is infrequent and consists of just a local service. Chepstow bus station is approx half a kilometre further; from here buses to a wider area may be found. On race days, special buses are normally laid on to convey racegoers to and from Chepstow racecourse, this is a walk of approximately half an hour's duration. There is limited station parking available, with a free car park nearby of about 50 spaces.
