Trivia: Stations on our railway network which are closed but the platforms still exist.

[Gathursty]

Smethwick West

 

[transmanche]

Wolferton, for Sandringham.

Sadly does not meet the OP's criteria of it being a closed station on an otherwise open line.

 

[MadMac]

Beattock, yes! Cumberland Street, pass. I walked the Sunnyside Basin line in 2013 (as part of the Motherwell North Signalling Renewals scheme) and don’t recall passing any extant platforms then.

Thinking about the Sunnyside one, it was probably part of the bridge rather than a platform. Few others:

Glasgow Green
Cameron Bridge?
Cobbinshaw?
Mauchline?

Carnforth main line platforms are still intact (sort of) but were closed in 1970.

There are quite a few on the Settle and Carlisle line such as Culgaith, Long Marton and Cumwinton.

 

[adrock1976]

Glasgow Cross, between the present day Argyle Street and Bridgeton (which also has Glasgow Green along this section of route too).

 

[Springs Branch]

I haven't been along the Atherton line for a couple of years, but last time I did the platforms were still visible at Pendleton.

Further west along the Atherton line, still in Salford, the double track railway still separates around the former island platforms at long-closed Pendlebury and Irlams o' th' Height stations, although I think there's little trace of the platforms left at either.

Norton Bridge platform is still there, just! In relation there's also Wedg(e?)wood and Barlaston (though their status as "closed" is up for debate).

Ditton on the North side of the Mersey still had platforms (and even nameboards) last time I went through.

Yes the platforms are still there but I have not seen any name boards. I will look again next time that I pass.

Godley East

No boards at Ditton anymore. You can add the old Upton platforms (replaced by Bache) near Chester, Castlethorpe on the southern end of the WCML still has substantial amounts of platform in situ and there's an island platform at Hatch End on the mainlines, (DC lines ones in full working order.

 

[yorksrob]

St Leonards West Marina down platform still exists, as does the up island platform for Polegate's second station (resited in the 1980's)

Both of Folkestone East's platforms exist, as well as one of the island platforms for Westenhanger Racecourse.

Lydd town has a platform on the Dungeness branch (if we're counting freight only lines) as does Brookland, albeit the now lifted loop used to run through it.

 

[Dougal2345]

Ampress Works on the Lymington branch.

There's still a sign of some kind fixed to the fence on the platform, but the trains rattle through so fast that I've never been able to read it.

It would make a useful stop for Lymington Hospital, which is currently a long unpleasant slog alongside a busy road from the Town station.

 

[pdeaves]

Filton (the earlier, pre-Abbey Wood station).
Culham (old up side platform still present, replaced by a new up platform closer to Oxford).

Hanslope

Don't you mean Castlethorpe? Nothing at Hanslope or Roade.

 

[Stuart-h]

Don't you mean Castlethorpe? Nothing at Hanslope or Roade.

I stand corrected! I couldn't remember if it was in hanslope or castlethorpe

 

[Railwaysceptic]

Calvert; and the line is still open. Is it Castlethorpe between Wolverton and Roade Junction where the platforms lie unused for decades?

Glasgow Green
Cameron Bridge?
Cobbinshaw?
Mauchline?

There are probably some remnants of Shields Road but I haven't looked in passing for quite some time.

 

[Llama]

The Oaks, north of Bolton near Bromley Cross.

Someone posted Baguley Fold, the station was actually Park.

Saddleworth platforms partially remain, platform edges are not there though.

 

[cuccir]

The platforms for Gateshead West, closed in 1965, can still be seen on curve to the south of the High Level Bridge, used by the trains travelling to/from the ECML or the Tyne Valley to Newcastle station via that bridge.

 

[Stuart-h]

Calvert; and the line is still open. Is it Castlethorpe between Wolverton and Roade Junction where the platforms lie unused for decades?

That's the one!

 

[Stuart-h]

Would Swanbourne count? Even though the line is mothballed / or in the stages of being sorted.

No you are correct, and one of the two can clearly be seen on Google Maps, https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.8630743,-4.0304888,28m/data=!3m1!1e3 this was the North British station that originally carried the name "Coatbridge Central" and when it closed in 1951 the suffix "Central" was transferred to the former Caledonian Station which carries it to the present day

 

[Dougal2345]

Bradford Peverell & Stratton Halt, between Dorchester West and Maiden Newton.

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Holywell on the North Wales coast still has a platform there.

 

[martinsh]

Beeston Castle

 

[driver_m]

Holywell on the North Wales coast still has a platform there.

There's a few up there .Talacre, Bagilt, Mostyn I think has a bit of platform near the old station building, prestatyn has another disused platform,

Park, east of Miles Platting in Manchester.

 

[Geoff DC]

Gwinear Rd, between Hayle & Camborne, where the Helston branch joined the main line

[PeterC]

Bishopsgate Low Level.

 

[Highlandspring]

Glasgow Cross, between the present day Argyle Street and Bridgeton (which also has Glasgow Green along this section of route too).

The platforms aren't there at Glasgow Cross, the bricked up staircases end in mid air.
