Thornton-In-Craven on the old Colne - Skipton line had the track lifted in the 70s I think it was, but the platforms, station buildings, station masters house and even the old station lights are all still in existence!

One I used to cycle past every day until I moved is West Moors, the trackbed now being the Castleman Trailway.

Indeed it does (it's a café) and so does Powerstock on the same line (private house - the owner has been there since before the line closed)

And on the Meon Valley line Droxford and Privett still have their station buildings (which is more than West Meon does)

Will have to go down to Powerstock some time to have a look, been near there so many times but didn't realise it still had it's station.

I also believe chard town station building is still there (near B&Q), and also Sturminster Newton station might still be there (adjacent to the main car park)

And although it does still have tracks a place that seems to have retained it's station (and platform) is Seaton Junction.

Surely the easiest place to find all these is on Disused Stations ?

Ahh but ... my suggestion isn't on that website

edit: Either as Bardsea or Bardsea(Priory) Station

How about the (real) GWR station in Devon (Brixham? Kingswear?) that never had tracks? Only ever saw boats.

Dartmouth.

It had a station building with a booking office, but nearest trains (and track) were on the other side of the river at Kingswear!

The trainshed was demolished a long time ago and the Callaghan Labour Govt started building a Govt Office there (it was abandoned when Thatcher won in 1979).

Now its the site of a Morrisons supermarket

Re: Southport (Lord Street).

The frontage survives, forming (part of) a Travelodge. I have actually stayed in one of the rooms in the original clock tower, which was nice!

You're not wrong, that's it

I knew I'd find it in the end. I wonder what other stations on the East Lincolnshire Line remains?

endecotp · 11 Jun 2016

Bonnyrigg. The site has been nicely grassed over as a park, but the platform edges remain.

Nor are the first three I thought of - Kelvinbridge, Botanic Gardens and Kirklee. All in Glasgow as are many more.

Also this place just outside Cowan Bridge on the former Ingleton line. (Kirby Lonsdale Station)

leightonbd · 12 Jun 2016

In addition to those in the Scottish capital mentioned above, Morningside Road is quite well preserved.

The station building is also still in place at Balerno, and at Trinity.

Edinburgh's old railways are a joy for running.

This former Taff Vale Railway Station closed to passengers in 1930 but it still survives, complete with Signal Box. The station was closed to passengers in 1930 and the line was closed completely after WW2.

richieb1971 · 12 Jun 2016

The most famous one will be Wolferton near Hunstanton.

Willington freight loading platforms exist on the Bedford Sandy corridor.

D365 · 12 Jun 2016

Bakewell and other stations on what is now known as the Monsal Trail.

richw · 12 Jun 2016

I've got a few books from the British Railways Past and Present series and there are many pictures, of eligible stations for this topic. Many are now residential with the track bed used as a garden, or driveways,

Andyh82 · 12 Jun 2016

The old platform and station building at Halifax

90sWereBetter · 13 Jun 2016

Haddiscoe High Level is exceptionally well-preserved. It can be glimpsed from a Norwich-bound train as it pulls into the low-level station. The platforms, station building, and even the old signalbox for the swing bridge still exist. The swing bridge pillars are still extant, as well as the abutement for where the old Yarmouth-Beccles line crossed the Norwich-Lowestoft line. I believe this part of the trackbed is still protected by law.

Another one in East Anglia is Thorpeness station, the platform still exists (although heavily overgrown). There's also a station building in the village of Bentley on the GEML, as well as what looks like an old goods yard. It's between Ipswich and Manningtree.

xcooler123 · 13 Jun 2016

Shrewsbury Abbey still has the outlines of a platform and the original building but the rest of it is a car park

Hophead · 13 Jun 2016

The platforms of Crouch End station on the Northern Heights line (now Parkland Walk) are still intact and can be seen. Highgate High Level is inaccessible, but visible and a rather unexpected sight in North London.

BurtonM · 13 Jun 2016

Woodhead on the old Woodhead Line/Trans Pennine/Longdendale Trail still has its platforms.

Harbornite · 14 Jun 2016

A few others are Evesham Midland, Mangotsfield, Harvington, Coughton, Salford Priors, Great Alne, Penmaenpool, Gara Bridge and Broom Junction.

whittlesfordok · 14 Jun 2016

All there platforms and station

Mr Fizz · 14 Jun 2016

Wombourne and Tettenhall on the old South Staffs Line are nicely preserved platforms and buildings. Wombourne was a cafe, don't know if it still is.

turboslug · 14 Jun 2016

helsby & alvanley station on the old west Cheshire junction to mouldsworth route still has station building & platform

Millisle · 15 Jun 2016

Four ones in generally good repair on the Speyside line are Aberlour, Carron.
Knockando and Blacksboat. Another very good one is Redcastle on the Muir of Ord - Fortrose line.
