In addition to Farringdon to Blackfriars I also suggest Whitechapel-Shoreditch- Dalston Junction
Clapham Jn- Kensington Olympia- Willesden Jn also had a frequent service.
I have checked my maps which do not show it.
It is not the Central Line as it runs adjacent to Wood Lane (Met) station.
My only suggestion is that it was a temporary contractors line for construction of the housing development. There were several such lines around London and two large systems I...
In London-
Whitechapel- Shoreditch- Dalston Western Jn
Blackfriars- Farringdon reopened 1986 rebuilt in 1990 with opening of City Thameslink station
Surrey Quays- Old Kent Road Jn
The regular passenger service between Clapham Jn to Willesden Jn introduced in the 1980s
I agree Hever, Cowden, Ashurst and Eridge serve rural areas. Eridge is a "parkway" station attracting passengers from Tunbridge Wells and north Crowborough. Yes commuters from Tunbridge Wells for London? It is cheaper to park at Eridge (under £3 per day ) than Tunbridge Wells station (approx £7...
It appears to me that you have taken a negative view and just thought how can I turn it down. Falmer is a small village but the station ( and Moulescomb) is used regularly daily by students attending the University of Sussex which is adjacent. At present Brighton FC play 19 home games at their...
I am a firm supporter of reopening Uckfield to Lewes with 3rd rail electrification.

I have not applied for one myself. The only time I was on a train which was heavily delayed I was travelling on a free railway staff ticket...!
Blaenau to Bala line closed to passengers in January 1960 well before Dr. Beeching was appointed to BR in June 1961 .
As stated above I agree the line closed to enable the Llyn Celyn reservoir to be built
The platform coping stones are those built by the concrete depot at Exmouth Jn which were used on the Southern and Western. I think it is somewhere in the South.
What appears to be a "Southern Railway" built canopy but too distant to be sure.
Am I in the right area..?
