Drybrook Halt

Interestingly the connection between the Hereford, Ross & Gloucester Railway and the Mitcheldean Road & Forest of Dean Junction at Mitcheldean Road seems only ever to have been via a siding. So a move from Mitcheldean Road station to Drybrook Halt would need a double reversal. However what I can't tell from the OS maps is whether the siding possessed a passenger platform. Not that all this is a problem in the context of our current journey - I just mention it!
