I decided to go down the easy route now to get what i want for my blog. I decided to do each of 27 post planned as alphabet order start from z all way to a.

All you need to do is;

• state name/s of the station (plus any other names it was known by)
• Opening date
• Closed Date

I will be using external sources as well but i want real and actuate info and not just bits of info here and there

I will Mention everybody who take part

There's a few thousand there to be going on with...

Google "Passengers no More" (published a good while ago - one of the writers being one time Area Manager Salisbury - G Daniells) - a good base study which ought to save much work.

As GOORC mentioned there are two web sites that list all closed stations in the UK.They show photographs before and after the stations closed, tickets, timetables, etc.
I have to admit my interest in contributing to both these web sites.

There are books listing line and station closures such as "Passengers No More" (public services) and "Private and Untimetabled Railway Stations" by G.Croughton and others.
.
What else can you add...?

I had wondered what had happened with that temporary station, it was open for quite a while then?

I cant seem to find this book

Two copies are now available to buy on "Amazon"

Howdy...

42 copies of various dates available on abebooks.co.uk from 61p +post etc. Of course, don't overlook the superb work of the 'disused stations' guys.

Plainly the likes of Railway Magazine (all available for public view at the NRM, though they appreciate a warning that you'd like to view!) are the best resource, but I suggest you are going over old ground by researching all those years of magazines...fun though it would be.

I have an old copy of Passengers no More from 1962 when it was just a pamphlet. I wasn't aware that it is now a book.

The most complete list is probably contained in Railway Passenger Stations in Great Britain: a Chronology http://www.rchs.org.uk/trial/gwpf.php?wpage=Railway Station chronology
