Closed Stations Journey quiz

[Cowley]

This is where it could all go wrong for me. One last one tonight
Snailham Halt

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

You were most correct with that last posting, so we now enter the final leg of this journey

Brookland Halt

 

[A Challenge]

I believe we only have a few left

Lydd Town

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The SER route, closed in 1937, would have gone from Lydd Town direct to Dungeness.

Dungeness is the final closed station on this journey.

I am going to make a slight diversion here and go via Arbroath Catherine Street. For the next bit look for an old connection through the docks to the Dundee & Arbroath. I hope this is OK!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Arbroath Catherine Street is a terminal station and we would not use any terminal station normally when a direct line to a following railway was available.

From Colliston, I would have taken the line that led to.....

Elliot Junction

Oh well - I thought it might add interest. There was a connection between Catherine Street and Lady Loan via the docks - rather like the link in Aberdeen which I recall we traversed once. The dock connection was taken out when the route via the new Arbroath station was put in.

Anyway - Easthaven

As a matter of interest (sorry, I should have mentioned this earlier) I think Stannergate and Craigie on the approach to Dundee from Arbroath are shown the wrong way round on the Wikipedia entry.
