Pandy railway station was a railway station which served theMonmouthshire village ofPandy. It was located on theWelsh Marches Line betweenHereford andAbergavenny.
On 25 March 1855 shortly after leaving Pandy, a stoker on a train, Evan Jones aged 18 went round the engine to lubricate some of the mechanism when his leg hit an iron girder of a bridge.[2] He fell and the wheels passed over his right arm. He was transported to Hereford Infirmary where his arm was amputated but he died two days later[3]
The station, comprising a booking office, a cloakroom and the station-master's house, was destroyed by fire in 1904.[4]
The station closed in 1958.
