St Briavels
The station was built in 1876 and originally called Bigsweir  after the neighbouring bridge. It was then decided that the station should be  named after a village and so in 1909 it became St Briavels and Llandogo. The  name was shortened to St Briavels in 1927.

The station had goods facilities and a signal box, as well as  the only level crossing on the line. The station and goods buildings can still  be seen today.
