Welcome

Come and explore closed railway lines on my fotopic site. I have started to include closed stations on lines that are otherwise still open, either for passenger or freight traffic.

1	64. The platform is in good repair and could originally accomodate 6 car trains. A partition has been constructed so in theory only 3 car trains can call, although as mentioned earlier in bad weather units would be paired to cope with icy conductor rails.	Croxley Green Branch (L&NWR)	(16)
2	50. We arrive next at Watford West. As described earlier the station retained lots of old features. This view shows the last morning train from Croxley awaiting departure - it cant leave until I get on it, at the rear of the train is George the ticket clerk, who has locked the station entrance and is waiting impatiently for me to join the train!	Croxley Green Branch (L&NWR)	(13)
3	74. The end. 313022 waits to depart Croxley Green on the last day of regular services - 18 January 1991. The service would be reduced to a handful of inconvenietly timed trains - a classic example of the so called British Rail 'closure by stealth' technique.	Croxley Green Branch (L&NWR)	(10)
4	56a. 313002 approaches Watford West with a Croxley Green to Watford Junction service.	Croxley Green Branch (L&NWR)	(10)
5	73. Oh dear! The new platform at Croxley Green stands where the goods loop once was. 313011 waits to return to Watford Junction on 20 October 1989. I hope the relayers are not missing their temporary buffer stop!	Croxley Green Branch (L&NWR)	(9)
