valleys, it would be challenging to construct. In 1853 work was started on the
Crumlin Viaduct, stated to be the largest viaduct in the world, crossing the Ebbw Valley at a height of 200 feet, and 1650 feet in length. The first section of the Taff Vale Extension line from Pontypool Road to Crumlin Junction was opened on 20 August 1855. It was a single line of Barlow rails at first, but was doubled soon afterwards. The branch down to Llanhilleth was opened to an NA&HR goods depot there on 3 September 1855 and a connection joining the Monmouthshire Railway's Western Valley line at Llanhilleth opened on 20 October 1855. Crumlin Viaduct was finished in May 1857 and was opened for traffic on 1 June 1857, together with a further three miles of single line to Tredegar Junction (now Pontllanfraith) on the Sirhowy Railway. The Sirhowy Railway had not yet been converted to a standard gauge railway, and it was not until 1865, when this was done, that the junction was used for through running.

a connecting curve to the south was provided by the LNWR, enabling trains from
Abergavenny to run direct to Barrs Court. The Hereford Loop, as it was called, ran from Red Hill Junction on the Abergavenny route to Rotherwas Junction on the line from Ross. The GWR provided mixed gauge on the section of the Ross route from Rotherwas Junction to Barrs Court. The Hereford Loop opened on 16 July 1866, and for passenger traffic on 1 August 1866, and nearly all long distance trains used it. Accordingly, Barrs Court became the main station for Hereford.

Brassey could not bring sufficient engine power to work the line efficiently, and the NA&HR decided to work the line themselves; they did so, effective from 1 January 1855.

Hereford station was later known as Hereford (Barton). By a northward extension a mile in length a junction was made at Barrs Court Junction with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway; this single line was opened to passenger trains on 16 January 1854, completing a continuous railway from the River Dee to the Bristol Channel.

The OW&WR was undoubtedly the senior partner in this alliance, the NA&HR having relatively limited financial resources. It took powers to subscribe £37,500 to the Worcester and Hereford Railway.

The timing of the 1846 authorisation was unfortunate, as the continuing financial crisis at the time made it impossible to raise money for railway schemes, and for some years no attempt was made to start building the line.
