Ledbury station is a small railway station on the outskirts of the town of Ledbury on the Cotswold Line in the English Midlands.
The station is the only section of double track, where trains travelling in opposite directions can pass each other, between Shelwick junction, near Hereford and the portal of Colwall New Tunnel near Great Malvern. This means that a delay to one train may hold up one travelling in the opposite direction and lead to further delays to later services. This sometimes results in trains heading towards Hereford being terminated at Ledbury and replacement bus services being laid on (though such decisions are said by Central Trains to be made only in "exceptional circumstances" [1]).
