(Noting that the order shown on the Wiki template for the South Wates Main Line is confusing and suggests the wrong order for the 1st and 2nd stations. Evidence: the Wiki entry for Portskewett railway station, which says that the new station was 800 yards East of the old one, plus the fact that this location puts the original station exactly where you would expect it to be, in a very convenient position for the village and right next to an overbridge. The Wiki entry for Portskewett Pier confirms this location.

I did notify Wikipedia last year that they have order wrong on the line template of the South Wales Railway, but on the Gloucester to Newport line template, they show it correctly
