At Pulborough the disused up loop platform would have held the former service to Midhurst and Petersfield. I believe that part of the former up loop track was still used as a siding for engineers vehicles until the 1990s..? At Arundel there was a down bay platform which was used for shuttle...

It would appear that you have done some easy ones. The difficult ones are stations such as Reddish South, Denton, Shippea Hill, Pilning. Shipton, Ascott-under-Wychwood, Teeside Airport, Eccles Road, Harling Road. For peace and quiet then look forward to long waits between trains at remote...

Charlton Athletic played home games at Selhurst Park and Upton Park in the late 1980s-early 1990s when their home ground The Valley was closed. The original Wimbledon FC after leaving Plough Lane ground in Wimbledon played at Selhurst Park before reforming as MK Dons. Finally- A fellow...

Personally I do not see the need for the temporary access road for the platform extension. No-one has mentioned that the site is on a flood plain which has flooded frequently in recent years. No-one has mentioned that a temporary access road was not required when the platform was built around...
