Folkestone Harbour
Watford West
Watford Stadium-(it never had any buildings)
Croxley Green-not sure of the condition of this?

Croxley green still has full NSE signage at street level and last time I saw any updates (2012) it still had the red NSE poles and big. Mirror just the platform surface had deteriorated and nature had regained the land

Buxworth Station - closed in 1958. The down platform and station buildings are intact, but the up platform and its simple wooden shelter have long gone.

There were still platforms and some station buildings remaining at Bedlington Station (plus 2 signalboxes and semaphores) last time I was up there, also the platform remains at Ashington, both on the Blyth and Tyne line.

Middleton Towers near Kings Lynn, single platform with building (although in a bad state) on the old Swaffham line,

Although the Swaffham line was lifted with the help of Dr Beeching the first 5 miles out of Lynn has survived for freight upto Middleton Towers station where the sand transfer site is

Just one note the platform is still in good shape, good enough for the Royal Family to get on and off

There is also a station on the Norwich to Sherringham line (forget the name) but as the line is single one platform in use today by GA but the opposite platform is still intact with the building being residential, must say looks rather smart and cared for

Not sure whether you can count the second disused platform at Trimley on the Felixstowe branch, although overgrown a little (surface weeds) there is track there for a train to stop

Surprised that Brightside hasn't been mentioned yet. Mostly intact the last time I passed about 18 months ago.

All disused because of the landslip.

How about Holmesly on the Brockenhurst - Ringwood line closed 1964. At least part of one platform survives, the buildings have survived to become tea rooms

Talybont - now an outdoor education centre but I believe the platform and some hardware railwayana survives at the scene. Trackbed is obvious.

Buildings long long gone, the footbridge went about 8 years ago, just platforms remaining.

Had a look down there today to see it in a bit more detail, no access to the Hadfield line stations however still plenty of interesting relics on the stretch of line now converted to a cycleway/footpath ranging from the site of the turntable to a derelict brick building (that i assume has something to do with the turntable or facilities located there and even a few telegraph poles still in situ. It was quite an interesting hour looking around. I have some photos I took if anyone is interested I will open a flickr account as its not usually my thing.

just found a cracking picture of the turntable on this page http://s738.photobucket.com/albums/...?action=view&current=GodleyGCLTurntable-2.jpg amazing how mother nature reclaims everything

That will be Gunton.

St Mary Church Road on the Cowbridge - Aberthaw line, which closed in 1930. It still has its signal box and even the Goods Shed survived until it blew down in a gale some years ago.
