Trivia: Recent stations entirely losing service

[W-on-Sea]

Going slightly further back, Corby (re-opened 1987, but closed again 1990 until 2009), Errol (1985), Groombridge and Tunbridge Wells West (1985), Radipole (1983), Coulsdon North (1983); Bingham Road, Coombe Road and Selsdon (1983).

Addiscombe closed in the 90s to make way for the Croydon Tramlink, but the tram stop called Addiscombe is actually on the site of the old Bingham Road station (albeit at street level instead of on a viaduct)

Also, Clayton West and Skelmanthorpe (1983)

 

[Tetchytyke]

Nope, the route was lifted at or before re signalling in the late 90s.

Yes, I know Google Earth is inaccurate, but it looks as though there's a rail-served container terminal on the trackbed just north of the old station.

Hasn't Polesworth recently had a Parly service re-introduced??

 

[Baxenden Bank]

Norton Bridge, Barlaston and Wedgwood are not closed! Although they are correctly listed as having no service at present.

Interestingly, in recent correspondence with London Midland, they deny any requirement to serve these stations or any responsibility for / involvement in the increasingly poor replacement bus service. First Potteries service 23 takes a mere 52 to 69 minutes for the 7.1 miles between Stoke Station and Stone - where it doesn't go near the rail station anyway.

Etruria was formally closed with a proper consultation and public inquiry.

Only in the northbound direction - four tracks to cross on foot to reach the southbound - as per Norton Bridge, someone stole the footbridge!

Since Northern Irish stuff I believe somewhat bizarrely belongs in this forum, here you go:
Bleach Green, Mount, Barn, Eden, Kilroot and Ballymacarrett - 1977
Crawfordsburn - 1997
Crumlin, Glenavy and Ballinderry - 2003
Knockmore - 2005

 

[Baxenden Bank]

Heh, here's a map just to really show off

Interesting the Wikipedia (yes I know) article for Park Station has a dead link to a "List of dates from 1 January 1985 to 20 January 2006 of last passenger trains at closed BR (or Network Rail stations since privatisation)". Department for Transport Website: Freedom of Information Act responses, February 2006. Department for Transport. 2006.

Here is that Dft list:View attachment dft list of station closures.pdf

Surprised no-one's mentioned Ditton yet. It officially closed in 1994.

 

[Kite159]

Anybody mentioned Newhaven Marine yet?

Yes, in the first post.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Surprised no-one's mentioned Ditton yet. It officially closed in 1994.

Last time I.went through (admittedly about a decade ago) it still had a few nameboards up! Surprised it survived as long as it did though, there appears to be b***er-all there!

Do the stations on the Oldham Loop (i.e. Milnrow, Newhey, Shaw and Crompton, Oldham Mumps, Oldham Werneth, Hollinwood, Failsworth, Dean Lane) count, losing all their National Rail services in 2009?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Nope, because they all (bar Werneth) gained direct replacements once the Metrolink opened. This thread I believe is for stations which closed outright.

Here is that Dft list:View attachment 18367

That is a longer list than I was expecting. A lot went in the late 90s. Also confirms that Newhaven Marine is not closed, just has no service

Between Billingham and Seaton Carew up on Tees-side. Page 62, ref A2 in the excellent 'Rail Atlas of Britain 1977'.

Fair enough, thanks for that, at work so couldn't look it up in one of the 13 versions I have of that

 

[Quakers Yard]

Filton
Filton platform..both still there
Pilning might as well be closed
Abercynon North gone but you can make out where it was and the entranc

 

[12CSVT]

Godley East closed 27th May 1995.

Replaced by Godley (although the two co-existed for a while)

 

[sarahj]

Charing cross on the Jubilee line. 2001?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rotherham Masborough...closed 3rd October 1988 (I realise that this is slightly before the 1990 period, but a recent one nonetheless)

 

[backontrack]

Charing cross on the Jubilee line. 2001?

1999.

 

[34D]

Chee Dale Halt closed 1987.

Does the OP fancy going through the whole thread to add every place into the opening post? 1986 would seem a nice cut-off date.

 

[chris_in_salop]

Smethwick West 1996
New Hadley 1986
Abertafol 1985 (official date of closure)
Gogarth 1985 (official date of closure)

 

[JohnB57]

This might be total rubbish, but didn't Park serve a huge Co-op jam factory, which later closed. That's what my late dad told me.

Up to 1896, Co-op jam was made in Crumpsall. In 1896 a dedicated jam factory opened at Middleton Junction. Neither would have been served by Park Station, which was a couple of miles away from both and on the wrong line.

There was Robertsons in Droylsden, but not very close to Park.

I think all are listed in the DfT attachment.

It's true, I've got nothing better to do

How does the attached do?

National Rail stations only - and Chee Dale Halt doesn't count - was that a Spellar Amendment station? Did it officially open in order for it to require offical closure?
