Does anyone know when the line from Brightside Junction to Shepcote junction (the original Sheffield District Railway of 1900) closed ?
I know Brightside Junc was "plainlined" in 1999 but I would have thought the line would have been closed earlier. Poss 1992/93 when the line to Broughton Lane junction (and most of the other access chords to Tinsley yard) was taken out of use ?

The line was taken out of use 'temporarily' on 20 September 1992, but its closure became permanent in November 1993.
