    Can Anyone Identify This Line — London, East Acton Area

    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...

    What should we do about Uckfield to Lewes?

At present Brighton FC play 19 home games at their...

    Should you keep records of journeys as evidence to prove Delay Repay claims/defend against accusations of fraud?

    Yes- if applying for a claim keep as much evidence as possible with scans of your ticket you are submitting, photos and anything else. 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...!

    Was Cwm Prysor the litmus for the Beeching Cuts?

    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

    Guess the Station...

    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..?
