Pandy railway station was a railway station which served the Monmouthshire village of Pandy. It was located on the Welsh Marches Line between Hereford and Abergavenny.
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.
The Owen Sheers novel Resistance used Pandy railway station as a location.
