Church Road (B&MJR) railway station
Church Road railway station served the hamlet of Lower Machen in Newport, Wales.The station had two platforms. There was a substantial stone building on one, with the other supplied with only a shelter. Initially a small and insignificant halt, Church Road grew in importance and a telephone kiosk was installed in 1891, together with the larger waiting room. For many years, the station's flowerbeds had its name spelt out in bedding plants Despite this, the station's patronage slumped in the post-war years. It closed to both passengers and freight in 1957, having been unstaffed for a number of years. The larger station building is now a private residence, though the second platform was gone by 1974.
