What are forum members' ideas on the topic of the largest single area of land containing railways in Britain that has been abandoned? Obvious examples will be large stations, especially terminus stations, and freight depots, especially marshalling yards, that have closed. There might be grey areas with, say, docks and rail-served factories and depots, where there could well be a relatively small total length of track in a large area of land. Places where there are still a few surviving sidings, such as at Tinsley (the recent posting on Tinsley prompted this thread) are eligible, whether or not they are still in use.
