Castlethorpe.  Closed in September 1964, the down fast platform seen here with a Birmingham bound express hurrying past.  Thanks to Richard Ashby for pointing out that the 'white line' is almost certainly cable troughing, and not a painted line as I originally thought!

Okehampton station viewed in 1990 from a Hertforshire Railtour. At this time the line was used for freight only. Happily, preservation keeps hope alive here now.

Verney Junction, the line is now 'mothballed', not closed . This view looking east is from the former Bletchley bound platform - now trackless.  The former junction site where the Metropolitan Railways lines swept in from the right is unrecognisable.

Whitmore was situated on the WCML between Stafford and Crewe.  The old station building still survives on the road overbridge, and the gap between the running lines betrays the existence one time of a platform.

Wolfs Castle Halt on the former Great Western line to Fishguard Harbour.  No buildings remain here, but the platform remains appear in sound condition despite the encroaching foliage.  This section of line is single track, this photo was taken from the summer dated loco-hauled train that ran during the summer of 2006 between Cardiff and Fishguard Harbour.
