Stations with wooden platforms

Combe?

Several on the Cambrian Coast - Penhelig, Llanbedr, Llandanwg, Tygwyn, and Llandecwyn.

Whilst it may not be wooden, it's certainly unique.

Look at the rough ground, stones and dust. Are there any other station platforms like this where they are terribly rough, uneven or unique like the one above?

Berney Arms Station is like that.

Lostock, between Bolton and Euxton.

Dawlish station down platform is part constructed of wood.
A large part collapsed in a storm in 1974.
Part of the reason for collapse was that BR filled in the gaps between the planks, thereby stopping the wave falling straight through it. The weight was too much for the old platform.

Does Humphrey Park count?

Does Workington North count?

Heswall is wooden... I'm pretty sure its recently been re-built after somebody fell through the original one!

I think Neston may well be wooden too!

 

[Geeves]

Mills Hill on the Manchester to Leeds line

 

[bewildered]

From memory Cottingley, Deighton and Garforth East all have wooden platforms

Cosford station was built entirely out of sleepers and timber by the GWR - sadly (although perhaps not before time) demolished and rebuilt by Network Rail in 2011.

Princes Risborough's down platform appears to be a huge raft of wood mounted on concrete struts. It's coated with a non slip surface so you cant see it, but it certainly sounds like wood when you walk on it.

Enfield Chase is exactly like that as well as is the new platform currently being built at Alexandra Palace.

The north end of Ravenglass Up platform remains wooden even after the rebuild of both platforms. The wooden section goes over the bridge which spans the road into the village and is at a lower height above rail level than the rebuilt sections.

Is Tipton wooden by any chance?

Is Tipton wooden by any chance?

They look it:

[ATW Alex 101]

Got a few:

These are the ones on the Cambrian Line

Llandecwyn

Tygwyn

Llandwg

Cosford which has since been replaced

These is one I picked up:

Braystones
Not wooden, but note how low the platform is and the ground on top of it


There's a few!

I don't believe it is any more (it doesn't look it in that picture either) - it was rebuilt last year and is now steel and plastic, like Cosford.

Green road, unsure if it's wooden or not

Foxfield

Lelant Saltings

There's a few!

None of those are wooden

 

[ATW Alex 101]

Thought so, I was unsure anyway about the first one, but Foxfield and Lelant saltings certainly convinced me, I can see about Lelant Saltings though, it;s clearly got a concrete top. Post will be edited

 

[aylesbury]

Monks Risboro ,Aylesbury to Princes Risboro.

The 'down' platform at Dent has a small wooden extenstion, which I think was installed when the platform shelter and Victorian style lighting appeared.

Dilton Marsh ?

 

[RPM]

Battersea Park certainly was the last time I was there.

South Greenford is just wood with roofing felt on top

 

[D6975]

Dilton Marsh ?

Used to be wood with a metal checquerplate surface IIRC, but was rebuilt in 1994 - concrete now I believe.

 

[tankmc]

Are some Tyne Metro platforms part wooden on the Sunderland extension or am i dreaming that up?

 

[Ploughman]

Are there any stations in the UK (not heritage) which still have wooden platforms? I would be interested to see some of them, if there are any...
Thanks

So, after all the posts above, I think we can assume that there are quite a number of wooden platforms around the country.
Do we all agree?

Appleford, South of Oxford is wooden, I was loking at it today...

No, it's still wood, I was there not too many weeks ago.

Possibly Avoncliff Halt?
