Cycle parking is sadly limited [Correction: non-existent] at Chepstow railway station. We may not need anything as rigorous as this setup, but simple bike racks and CCTV are surely a minimum. 🚲 🔒

This is Nikki, one of our group members, showing us how, as there's no step-free way of getting to platform 1, she had to catch a train going in the wrong direction up to the next station, cross the tracks there and catch a train back through Chepstow station just to get to Newport. It's 2026 Network Rail, this is unacceptable.

Some tips which may give some insight to those of us who don't use a wheelchair. Unfortunately we're not likely to see Ade anytime soon at Chepstow, but we will keep pressing for decent access for everyone.

Women and girls who use Chepstow Station may be interested in this survey.

We're listening to women and girls across Gloucestershire about their experience of travelling by public transport.

We recognise that safety and confidence on public transport are shaped by lived experience, and that factors like age, faith, race, disability, and geography can affect how travel feels. Understanding that intersectionality is important to us.

That’s why we want to hear from you. By sharing your views, you’ll help us:

✅ Identify practical improvements for safety and customer support on the rail network
🚆 Influence public transport stakeholders to take a community-first approach
🤝 Shape our future projects so they respond to real experiences and needs in Gloucestershire

The survey takes around 10 minutes, is anonymous, and you can skip any questions.

A brief report from our very successful first gathering today, Tuesday 10 March 2026.

Around 20 people who are interested in making our station better and more accessible for everyone got together for an hour at lunchtime. We looked around the station and talked (a lot) about progressing this group. We agreed we want to demonstrate there is local pressure to improve the station buildings and surroundings, increase services and ensure access to Platform 1. We plan to build the group, gaining support from businesses in the town and other institutions

On access to Platform 1 we debated several ideas including: an accessible bridge, a lift, direct access to the back of the platform via an existing road (currently gated). The latter could be for people on foot and perhaps for blue badge holders by car.

We’re going to follow up with an evening meeting soon, so people who aren't available in the daytime can join us.

We're doing this one in the daytime, and we'll follow it up with events in the evening for people who aren't around in the day. Follow us and watch out for more info here.
