Isambard Kingdom Brunel surveyed a route across the Severn and the ferry at New Passage was purchased, but the line failed to raise enough money so was not built.
•
New Passage opened with the line on 8 September 1863 and closed when the Severn Tunnel opened on 1 December 1886.
•
Brunel died in 1859 and the works were completed by Robert Pearson Brereton.
