Bree

A through station with six platforms, of which four are teminating platforms. One platform is used exclusively by the Staddle Railway for passenger services, and another is for the motor-rail service which terminates here (although it is also used for freight workings). The sidings are not as extensive as those at Michel Delving but handle nearly as much freight. The Buckland & Bree Railway have their motive power depot at Bree and visiting Shire Railway engines will usually stop here for coal and water. The station is unusual in that most trains enter from the west and all leave to the east, the consequence of a planning order when the railway was built.
