Travelling on lines now closed

[4SRKT]

Not much for me really.

New Holland Pier
That flyover linking Waterloo to the SE Division for the Eurostar
The original Bradford Forster Square (was a couple hundred yards closer to the city centre)
Belfast York Road (where the depot is now; Cross-Harbour link diverges a couple of hundred yards to the north)
Lisburn > Antrim
Chaloners Whin > Selby
Sinfin branch

Erm, I think that might be it.

That flyover linking Waterloo to the SE Division for the Eurostar

I still do that fairly regularly, usually every couple of months. It's technically not closed, just NIRU (Not In Regular Use).

The only ones i can think of are:

1) Leamside Line
2) ECML via Selby ( before the diversion)

 

[Capybara]

Of those not mentioned so far, Harrogate-Northallerton, lines in and out of Leeds Central and the branch on Tyneside that went via the riverside.

I had a brake van and cab ride on the Bodmin Road - Wenford tripper just before it closed, seems like a lifetime ago now.

Apparently I traversed the Richmond (North Yorkshire) branch as a baby while my father was stationed at Catterick. I was only 14 months old when it closed so I have no recollection. Lines I can remember are York to Selby via Riccall;Leamside;Addiscombe;Holborn Viaduct;Sinfin;Island Gardens (1st site) & Tilbury Riverside (via both curves).

I have been on one or two of those few of those mentioned so will keep it to one's that haven't been mentioned (unless my failing eyesight has missed them)
... have been to/from and through Primrose Hill (on Broad St - Watford Junction Servies)
Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton (Low Level)
Liverpool Exchange to Preston (through Ormskirk)
Liverpool Exchange to Bolton (through Kirkby)
Liverpool Central High Level to Gateacre
Charing Cross to Folkestone Harbour
Dover Western Docks to Victoria
Sheffield to Huddersfield (Stocksbridge route to Penistone)
New Brighton to Wrexham
Runcorn to Helsby

Well reminded. I've done the Penistone > Sheffield Victoria > Nunnery line as well.

When I was a young boy, my parents did not own a car, and so every lengthy journey was by train over the M&GN until it closed in 1959.

I was also on the last passenger service along the East Lincs line, Grimsby-Boston-Spalding, and prior to that had trips to Mablethorpe and Hunstanton.

Leicester Belgrave Road has been mentioned above, and was one route that I would have given my right arm to travel on, but by the time I had enough of my own money and independence the line had closed to passengers.

Fortunately, my trip over Woodhead was electric hauled by 76001 if my memory is correct. Again I was too late for the 77s.
