===Railways=== Gloucestershire once had a much larger railway network than it does now with over 100 stations in the county, the vast majority of which were closed during the [[Beeching cuts]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/history/gallery/gloucestershire-lost-railway-stations-trains-3800914 | title=The long lost railways stations of Gloucestershire | date=February 2020 }}</ref> Nowadays, only 15 remain within the county, mostly concentrated on the [[CrossCountry NE-SW route]] and around the [[North Fringe of Bristol]]. Some stations have been re-opened in recent years; [[Cam and Dursley railway station]] opened in 1994, with [[Ashchurch for Tewkesbury]] opening three years later in 1997. Local campaign groups are also seeking to reopen several disused stations, including [[Charfield railway station]] in [[South Gloucestershire]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/brunels-long-lost-charfield-railway-6247220 | title=Details of new railway station near Bristol and when it will open | date=23 November 2021 }}</ref>
