The R W Nash Blog

28 June 2019

From an Ancient Book I took a clue, well actually it was Retired Martin’s Blog again. Happening to already being in Hereford, home of the wonderful Hereford Beer House It was just a couple of taps on The Transport For Wales Rail app and I was on my way.

Yes despite being in England, Hereford Station is run by Transport for Wales. You have to feel sorry for them.

However I got a seat and the aircon was working unlike the journey back.

Not the largest of Railway Stations but at least it had a carpark. It’s on the edge of town. Across the road from Tesco and Aldi.

I had no idea that there was a Brewery next to the station and that it was open from 10:00. Twattery already in progress, always a good sign.

Nicely cool inside, great welcome, fast non captive portal WiFi and the toilets are clean. Marked down for a return visit. An excellent fine. Plenty of merch too.

Handily it’s open seven days a week. Anyway onward.

The Rose and Crown, an Old School Real Ale Pub in the town centre. A couple pints of cask and some Friday lunch. Ham, Eggs and Chips obvs.

Great Pub, so so WiFi.

The Church Inn just around the corner. More of a Gastropub and it may be The Ludlow Brewery Tap?

Back to The Ludlow Brewery as the station has no waiting room or toilets for that matter.

A packed two carriage Class 150, no aircon but I did get a seat. The tunnel was the coolest part of the journey back.
