The methods of signalling operation at Crow Nest Junction is the track circuit block system (TCB) to Warrington power signal box in the Hindley direction & the track circuit block system (TCB) to Manchester Piccadilly signalling control centre on both lines (via Lostock Junction & Bolton and via Atherton to Windsor Bridge Junction). The signalling operation on the southern route (via Atherton) prior to 2013 was by the older method of the absolute block system (AB) as far as Walkden High Level signal box (a distance of around 7 miles). On the southern route, Crow Nest Junction worked absolute block to the neighbouring signal box at Atherton Goods Yard (when open). When Atherton Goods Yard signal box was switched out & unmanned, Crow Nest Junction worked AB straight through to Walkden High Level signal box.

The 1909 OS map shows that Copmanthorpe Gates has been renamed as Copmanthorpe Moor, and the level crossing covers all four tracks and is controlled by a larger signal box. The headshunt of the goods yard extends up to this crossing. The entrance to the goods yard is controlled by a new signal box, called Copmanthorpe, located to the south of the island platform and between the two new tracks. This box was sited adjacent to the south east corner of the modern Dikes Lane housing estate, a field at the time of the 1909 OS map. Copmanthorpe signal box opened on the 12 June 1904,Ken Appleby, Britain's Rail Super Centres: York, Ian Allan Limited, Shepperton, 1993, , page 73 probably the same date as the new island station opened.

The Morpeth line was therefore reversed to join the Northern line in front of the Court House, with points facing South and the branch trains were dealt with at a low level platform. The goods yard was transferred to the old third station site and the Morpeth engine was employed as necessary to shunt and transfer the goods yard traffic to and from the passenger station between trips. The Bowthorne Co-operative Butter Company established a large factory on the old Australasian Steam Navigation Company's site and built a siding in 1917, but the property has been sold and no rail traffic had been handled for some time. The principal traffic handled on the Morpeth line was wool, growing from 16,564 bales in 1872 to the amazing total of 82,361 bales in 1899.

This station closed when a replacement station was built immediately to the north of it, the old station being repurposed as the goods yard for the new station. The new station was a large station built to the specifications of the Caledonian Railway with two platforms and three tracks which ran through the station with the central track being a goods line. It had a signal box at either end, the western one controlling the route to Comrie and the larger, eastern box controlling access to the goods yard, the locomotive sheds and the tracks to Gleneagles and Perth. Passenger services to Perth and beyond Comrie to Balquidder ceased in 1951 but the station remained open to goods and for the stub to Comrie plus the Gleneagles line.

The old terminus served as a goods yard. The M&GR; company succumbed to absorption into the G&SWR; in 1865. The wild territory between Girvan and Stranraer took longer to traverse; the Girvan and Portpatrick Junction Railway opened its line across challenging terrain in 1877. It joined the Portpatrick Railway at Challoch Junction, entering Stranraer over that company's line.

Although most of the goods had transferred to the roads, limestone traffic continued, including that formerly hauled by the Cromford and High Peak Railway, when it closed in 1967. Though the amount of traffic justified the installation of some continuous welded rail in the 1980s, production was increasingly of aggregate carried by road. In 1991 the quarries passed to Croxton and Garry Ltd (which later became Omya UK Ltd) which no longer needed a rail link. Although its sidings, and the station goods yard, at Wirksworth are still listed by Network Rail, the connection to the main line at Duffield has been severed and fenced off, There is hope that one day the EVR could "once possible funding would be made" purchase and re-use both the goods yard and the sidings for further/extra space for some rolling stock and train storage.

There are no known potential archaeological elements on the station site with the exception of a remnant side platform and siding on the Down side. The recent findings during the widening of the Great Western Highway indicate the potential existence of surviving remnants of the former Goods Yard along the Highway. The Electrical Depot Site containing the substation and other associated structures may also have archaeological potential.

The typical 1894 GNoSR design wooden station with a 'hipped' roof had a booking office, general waiting hall, staff accommodation and toilets. The main building stood on the eastbound platform on a section of track doubled at the time of its opening. A simple wooden shelter stood on the westbound platform with a pedestrian overbridge connecting the two. No goods yard, sidings or crossover points were present.
|
|
The platforms are connected by a pedestrian underpass. There are many other tracks (without a platform) that are used for storing rolling stock or for goods services. The station also has a goods yard with a goods shed that has been converted into a warehouse. The design of the goods shed is very similar to that of its counterparts at other Italian railway stations.

The station consisted of four platforms, two on the Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway and the other two on the Gloucester to Newport Line. There was a shelter on each platform and platform one (the up platform on the Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway) had a stone station building with a cafe and booking office etc. There was a footbridge across the station, signal box, sidings and a small goods yard.
|
|
Demolished, the site of the station is occupied by a new road layout with the large Goods yard now the site of an industrial estate. Traces of the embankment can be traced at the western end of the station site, the section at the eastern side of the road continues to Hornsea Town as a footpath. This is the only major break in the railway formation on the line.

The 1966 BRB Closure notice. The 1963 timetable. The station originally only had a single short platform and a public house stood nearby. A small station building was present and the goods yard existed in the same location as later maps show it following the expansion of the station's facilities with the building of a new road and the establishment of a level crossing, signal boxes, and passing loop.
|
|
The station layout is slightly unusual in that the platforms are staggered (on the opposite sides of a road bridge, as can be seen in the accompanying photo) rather than being located opposite each other like other stations on the route. The station once had a goods yard which has now been converted to housing; its main building on the northbound platform still stands, but is not in rail use.

|
The first entrance building of Grevenbroich station was demolished after the Second World War, probably as a result of war damage. It was replaced by the existing station building. The area of the former goods yard, which lay to the west of the platforms, has been reduced dramatically in recent years, so that today it is no longer used. Only a large brownfield area indicates its former size.
|
|
The station was closed to rail passengers on 1 October 1855 with the opening of a new railway line into Worcester, the station remained open as a goods yard finally closing in 1963 as a result of the Beeching Report. In contrast to the closures of railway stations in the 1960's, on Sunday 23rd February 2020, a new railway station was opened in the area at Stoulton, Worcestershire Parkway.
|
|
At the east end of the platform is a road bridge carrying Carlyon Road over the line and beyond this is a small cutting which is spanned by a footbridge. The original bridge survived for almost 150 years; it was extended when the extra line was laid in 1931 to the new goods yard, but both sections have now been replaced by Network Rail's prototype modular fibre reinforced polymer footbridge.
|
|
The station had two platforms and a level crossing at the western end and included small goods yard, servicing a small mill. A railway gatekeeper's lodge was built circa 1867, and was later converted to the station master's cottage. It was later sold and converted to commercial use. Electric train services to Mount Druitt commenced in 1955, at a service presided by then Premier of New South Wales, Joseph Cahill.
|
|
In 1948 the station became part of the Eastern Region of British Railways. The 1955 modernisation plan proposed the electrification of the line through Great Bentley and electric services commenced on 13 April 1959. There was once a small goods yard to the east of the station which had cattle pens, coal wharves and an end loading ramp. In later years the main traffic was coal, agricultural fertilisers and sugar beet.

Bishopsgate station was closed to passenger traffic in November 1875 and then extensively reconstructed between 1878 and 1880 to convert it into a goods station. "By May 1880 the old facade and side walls had been completely removed." The new goods station opened in 1881 and became known as Bishopsgate goods yard. A passenger station called Bishopsgate (Low Level) was provided on the new route into Liverpool Street.

Shepton Mallet (Charlton Road) was a station on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway in the county of Somerset in England. Opened as Shepton Mallet on 20 July 1874, it was renamed to avoid confusion with the nearby GWR station in 1883. The station consisted of two platforms with the station building on the up side. There was also a goods yard and cattle dock controlled from a signal box.
|
|
The loco shed is signposted from Platform 1 and is only a short walk from the Station through the original goods yard. Access to parts of the shed and workshops are restricted for reasons of safety. The shed is made up of various sections of local NCB buildings and even part of a Nuneaton cinema. The shed plays host to many different locomotives and is sectioned into two key areas.
|
|
A fast train from Bristol was halted before it reached the collision site. The platforms were extended in length in 1892 with the extension of the Midland Railway's Birmingham West Suburban Railway. This enabled the construction of a large coal and goods yard with sidings for the adjacent Triplex factory. In the mid 1920s, two additional lines and platforms were added - opening to traffic on 14 March 1926.

Stafford Common railway station was a former British railway station on the outskirts of Stafford. It was opened by the Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway in 1874 about seven years after the line opened. There was a single platform with a stationmaster's office and waiting room, but it included a goods yard and an engine shed. It became the headquarters of the line, to reduce dependence on the LNWR at Stafford station.

A building stood to the right of the goods yard entrance gates, a common location for a station master's house. Perth and Clackmannanshire, 050.12, Surveyed: 1899, Published: 1900 The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1936 to 1939. A level crossing with gates still stands to the north of the station giving access to the River Tay. The track through the station is now double track.
|
|
After closure, the station buildings were converted to a private residence - the waiting room and ticket office became the living room, and the goods yard became a garden. In 1978, television director Ken Stephinson moved into the property with his wife Marjorie, and remained there until his death in 2012. A conservatory was added during their period of residence and the adjacent stationmaster's cottage was converted into a one-bedroom flat.
|
|
The station closed to passengers on 31 March 1930. Despite being closed the station was still available for goods and parcels, by 1938 the crane had been upgraded to 1 ton capacity. The line and station closed for freight on 31 July 1963. In 1981 it was reported that the station goods yard was now a small industrial estate and the former station house had become a private dwelling.

Valentine Bridge in Temple Quay Temple Quay is an area of mixed-use development on a site to the northwest of the station, where the station's goods yard was formerly located. The development project was initiated in 1989 by Bristol Development Corporation, who originally called it Quay Point. In 1995, the corporation transferred its rights on the site to English Partnerships, and development started in 1998. The developer was Castlemore Securities.

Adlestrop station site in 2008 The station building was demolished soon after closure in 1966. A station seat and nameboard were subsequently moved to a bus shelter in the village. Trains on the Cotswold Line pass the station site in the Evenlode Valley, where all evidence of its existence has vanished. The stationmaster's house is now a private residence, while the former goods yard is a vehicle dump.

Two breweries were already operating in Townsville: Martin's and Sons New City Brewery and the North Queensland Brewing Company. Allen and Lanfear planned to build a larger scale operation that would provide beer for North Queensland. Although economic recession was affecting most Australian colonies in the 1890s Townsville's economy was expanding and Allen and Lanfear purchased three allotments on the western end of Flinders Street opposite the railway goods yard.
|
|
The yard consisted of a cattle dock with a loop siding passing to the east. Beyond the siding was a building that may have been a coal depot. On 28 December 1964 goods services were withdrawn from the station and the sidings in the goods yard were quickly lifted. In March 1967 the station was downgraded to an unstaffed halt, although the suffix 'halt' never appeared in the timetable.

Caravans were relocated during coronation week in 1937 when around fifty vehicles were moved to the London area to provide accommodation for parties wishing to witness the coronation. In the usual LMS way they were sited in colonies, the final disposition of the coaches is uncertain but they were planned to be at Goods Yard, , and possibly . The LMS had also proposed providing additional porters to assist the campers.

Fish Creek was a railway station on the South Gippsland line in South Gippsland, Victoria. The station was opened during the 1890s and operated until 1992 when the line to Barry Beach servicing the oil fields in Bass Strait was closed. The line was then dismantled and turned into the Great Southern Rail Trail. Fish Creek contained a rather extensive goods yard, all of which now has been demolished.

Trawalla is a closed station located in the town of Trawalla, on the Ararat railway line in Victoria, Australia. A disused goods yard is located at the station. The station was one of 35 closed to passenger traffic on 4 October 1981 as part of the New Deal timetable for country passengers. Until the 1980s Trawalla was still used as a staff exchange point to either Ballarat or Beaufort.
|
|
The main wooden station building stood on the eastbound side with its 'hipped roof', had a waiting room, ticket office, staff accommodation and toilets, similar to those at Torphins, Lumphanan, Murtle and elsewhere on the line. It did not possess a goods yard, sidings or points on the double track line. A curling pond stood close by in Cults Park that would have attracted participating passengers on match days.Aberdeenshire LXXXVI.

The section of trackbed between Crossways Halt and Llanerchaeron Halt remains partially open as a footpath, whilst the section beyond Llanerchaeron Halt to the entrance to the former Aberayron goods yard and engine shed is now a well used gravelled cycle path linking the town of Aberaeron with the National Trust property at Llanerchaeron. The former Aberayron engine shed area is now a housing development, whilst the goods yard area is occupied by a Jewson builder's hardware yard. Access to this yard is unusual in that it uses the still-intact double-track railway bridge over the River Aeron which has now been paved. The site of the station platform is adjacent to this bridge and it can be seen that the paved road climbs up to the level of the former platform and descends to track level to cross the river bridge - this change in level of the paved road was kept to assist in flood mitigation.

Llanbedrgoch railway station was situated on the Red Wharf Bay branch line between Holland Arms railway station and Benllech, the penultimate station on the line off the main Anglesey Central Railway. Opening in 1909 it was a very simple station with only one short platform on the Up (east) side and a wooden waiting hut. It was an unstaffed request stop with no goods yard or sidings.Jones, Geraint: Anglesey Railways, page 84.
|
|
A platform was provided in 1877 close to the level-crossing keeper's cottage (demolished in 1902). In 1881, a new timber platform and station were built, to the west of the level-crossing. The goods yard between the stations and Bathurst Road (then the Great Western Highway) was developed in 1883–4. This expansion was necessary because of Katoomba's growth in the 1880s and 1890s as a tourist and local commercial centre.

Empress Hall with Lillie Bridge Depot, Fulham, before Earl's Court Exhibition was built on the right, 1928-source: Britain from Above. It meant that the area around Lillie Bridge was to make a lasting, if largely unsung, contribution for well over a century to the development and maintenance of public transport in London and beyond. Next to the Lillie Bridge engineering Depot, the Midland Railway established its own coal and goods yard.

It was closed by the British Railways Board.RAILSCOT on Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway A neat rubble-built goods shed had two arched cart loading bays. The small scale of all the buildings reflects the limited traffic expected from this deeply rural part of old Peebles-shire, however the goods yard on the OS map is shown with several sidings. The passenger service on this very rural line was an early victim of road competition.

Rhosgoch railway station was situated on the Anglesey Central Railway line from Gaerwen to Amlwch. It had a small platform on the Down (west) side of the track, the original wooden building on which was replaced in 1882 by a brick building. To the north of the platform was a small goods yard. In the 1970s a private siding was constructed to connect the line to the Shell Oil Tank Farm nearby.
|

The already accommodated double-tracking of the line from Ruabon was completed in September 1900 to Llangollen Goods Junction, located west of the current station. Between then and World War I, Acrefair, and Llangollen stations were all in part remodelled to cope with additional traffic. There were signal boxes at Llangollen and Llangollen Goods Jnc., with the latter controlling access to the goods yard, which today is a depot for the preserved railway.
|
|
Work is now underway to protect the surviving messages from water damage. Berwyn station on the abandoned Ruabon–Barmouth line in September 1967 By the 1950s, the waiting room and booking office had both been closed as Berwyn had become an unstaffed halt. The final scheduled passenger service between Llangollen and ran on 12 December 1964. Goods traffic continued on the eastbound section of line between to Llangollen goods yard until 1968.
|
|
Opened on 30 June 1856, this station lost its passenger service on 19 September 1955 and its goods yard was closed on 10 June 1963. The signal box remained in use until June 1982. The original single platform was built on the north side of the line next to a level crossing. A passing loop was installed here in 1897 which necessitated the construction of a second platform to serve trains towards Westbury.
|
|
When opened, the station had a single platform and a brick station building on the up side of the line. The building was of a typical North Eastern Railway design and similar to those at Bardsey, Thorner, and Collingham Bridge as well as at Garforth station. A long siding was located opposite to the platform, but there was no passing loop. The small goods yard with two sidings was located north of the station.
|

The two-storey goods shed was used to store whiskey from the distillery.
|
|
Another siding served the north side of the dock and the fourth siding served Valleyfield paper mill. By 1907 the goods yard had been enlarged with one additional siding and by 1932 the siding into Valleyfield Mill had been extended. The station was closed to passengers on 10 September 1951 but remained open due to the freight traffic of the paper mills. In 1961 the siding that served Bank Mill was lifted.

Church Street, now called Church Road, lies between the road junction and the church. There was a significant change after Codsall railway station, on the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, opened in 1849. The station became the commercial hub of the village with a goods yard, coal yard and cattle pens. Development took place along Station Road and beyond with some substantial properties being built to accommodate wealthy businessmen from Wolverhampton and the Black Country.
|
|
The siding at the southwest end of the platform served a cattle dock and the good shed, which had an awning over the platform. The goods yard had a two-ton crane. The station's name was changed to Humshaugh on 1 August 1919 to avoid confusion with , the previous station on the line. The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939 and possibly one for some of 1934.
|
|
The goods yard closed on 7 December 1964. There was a link line to Kelvedon Low Level railway station with a drop of 1 in 50, which joined the main line at the country end of the up line.

The large embankments leading to the viaduct are obvious having not had time to grass over. Only the concrete pedestals for the pillars remain now. West Meon station was the only point on the line where trains could take on water. A deep artesian well was sunk into the hills east of the station and piped to a tank in the station's goods yard to supply a water column on each platform.
|
|
The station consisted of two platforms with the up (to London) platform being 363 feet and the down (from London) platform 452 feet. The station building was situated on the up side with a wooden waiting shelter located on the down. The two platforms were linked by a footbridge provided in 1882. A goods yard consisting of three sidings and a brick goods shed was located south of the station on the up side.
|
|
The station was closed 6 May 1968. As it continued to be lived in by the former station-master and then his widow until 1999, the buildings have remained remarkably unaltered since its closure. The station building has been restored and converted into three self-catering cottages. The stationmaster's house is being restored as a private dwelling, while the goods yard, now known as Kilworthy Park, houses the offices of West Devon Borough Council.

The North British Railway worked the Whiteinch Railway, and it aspired to incorporate it and the tramway into its own system. This was resisted locally, until in 1891 the NBR agreed a purchase of the Whiteinch Railway, but not the tramway. In due course the NBR converted the Whiteinch Railway into a passenger branch, and next to Whiteinch goods yard they built Whiteinch (Victoria Park) passenger station. It opened on 1 January 1897.
|
|
The platforms were mostly covered by "ridge and furrow" glass roofs, supported by iron columns. The station was flooded in August 1883, which resulted in the installation of extra drainage. There was a large goods yard to the south of the platforms, accessed from the west, with a 28-lever signal box at the west end of the southern platform. The Clifton Down Tunnel is just to the east of the station.
|
|
The station achieved some degree of fame when it appeared in the 1950s children's television series "The Old Pull and Push". It also featured in the 1953 children's film Adventures in the Hopfields. The station was closed with the line on 12 June 1961. The fine station building was demolished in the 1960s and replaced with a private dwelling called "Haltwhistle" which is situated on the area where the goods yard would have been.

Proceeding south of Blochairn Junction, the project would involve excavating of earth, and a long viaduct stretching over the City Union Line (NBR) at Carntyne Road, Duke Street, the Coatsbridge line, and Great Eastern Road. Bridging London Road, the line passed around the east of the goods yard, to connect at London Road Junction. Opened in 1886, the whole route was double track. At north of London Road, the Parkhead Forge, a.k.

The Exeter to Okehampton passenger service was withdrawn by British Rail in 1972. Between 1972 and 1997 the line was used for railway ballast traffic from Meldon Quarry and occasional freight traffic to the remaining goods yard at Okehampton before its closure. Occasional charter and special trains were operated to Okehampton and Meldon Quarry during the passenger closure period. The railway reopened to regular passenger services in 1997 with the formation of Dartmoor Railway.

The name reverted to just "Devonport" from 6 May 1968. The goods shed was originally situated in front of the station near the tunnel entrance, but a new goods yard was opened in about 1892 on a larger site east of the station. This was accessed beneath a girder bridge that carried Valletort Road. The old goods shed and sidings were removed in 1903 and replaced by new sidings which handled milk traffic until 1957.

It was absorbed by the Great Northern Railway in 1882. The station was located 137 miles 73 chains from London Kings Cross via , and Bardney."Louth to Bardney Line Mileages" Railway Codes, Engineer's Line References, Retrieved 20 January 2020 The branch was mostly single track and the station had only one platform. A signal box was located at East Barkwith, to control the block, the level crossing over Panton Road and the small goods yard.
|
|
The yard had a siding serving a cattle dock. There was no loop at East Barkwith to allow trains to pass one another but connections to the sidings allowed the train’s engine to run round a few wagons. At the road entrance to the goods yard was a weighbridge and office. The station building included living accommodation for the Station Master and his family as well as a booking office and waiting room.

Burgh-le-Marsh station site, signal box and goods yard in 2018 taken from former level crossing Burgh-le-Marsh was a railway station on the East Lincolnshire Railway which served the village of Burgh le Marsh in Lincolnshire between 1848 and 1970. It originally opened as Burgh, but was renamed in 1923. Withdrawal of goods facilities took place in 1966, followed by passenger services in 1970. The line through the station is now closed.
|
|
To the north of the platforms is the goods yard on the west side of the line. The only regular goods trains to call are the Direct Rail Services trains that collect nuclear waste from Hinkley Point nuclear power station. The loading facilities for these nuclear flasks are in a secure compound on the stub of the old docks branch line. Another siding serves a warehouse but this has seen no traffic in recent years.

The goods yard had a 5-ton crane from 1938. Through electric services to Liverpool Central commenced on 13 March 1938, when the LMS electrified the lines from Birkenhead Park to West Kirby. The service was provided by the then-new LMS electric multiple units. However, on Sunday mornings, the service was provided by the older Mersey Railway electric units which, up until that point, had only ever run from Liverpool to Birkenhead Park.

After World War II the area declined from being a poor but busy industrial and distribution services district to a partially abandoned post-industrial district. By the 1980s it was notorious for prostitution and drug abuse. This reputation impeded attempts to revive the area utilising the large amount of land available following the decline of the railway goods yard to the north of the station and the many other vacant premises in the area.

The first stage of the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway was opened between Picton and in March 1857. The line eastwards from Stokesley to Ingleby was opened in February 1858, though the station at Ingleby wasn't opened until 1861. From Ingleby, the extension of the line to , was opened in April 1858. The station was located north of Ingleby Greenhow and was furnished with three sidings in a goods yard on the eastbound platform.
|
|
The station was opened on 2 July 1906 by The Kincardine and Dunfermline Railway which had been incorporated by the North British Railway. The goods yard was to the south of the line. The station closed on 7 July 1930. Despite being closed the station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1937 to 1938 and campers were advised to take a bus to the coach from one of the Dunfermline stations.
|
|
Only one minor injury was recorded. The station's goods yard closed on 18 April 1966. With the privatisation of British Rail, ownership of the line and station passed to Railtrack on 1 April 1994. The franchise to operate the passenger services on this route was won by Anglia Railways in 1997; in 2004 National Express won the franchise and operated services using the branding 'one', which was renamed National Express East Anglia in 2008.
|
|
The goods yard was closed on 28 December 1964 and the MSLR sidings were lifted c1965. The Ipswich to Norwich stopping service was withdrawn on 5 November 1966 leaving the station served by the stopping Ipswich - Cambridge service. The parcels service was also withdrawn on this date. Haughley closed with effect from 2 January 1967 as part of the Beeching Axe and most of the station building was demolished as well as the three platforms.

Edgware was a London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) station located on Station Road in Edgware, north London. It was opened in 1867 and was in use as a passenger station until 1939, then as a goods yard until 1964. It is not to be confused with the London Underground's Edgware Underground station, served by the Northern line, situated approximately 200 metres to the north-east of the site of the old Edgware railway station.
|
|
On the east side of the railway property is the former goods yard. A sales outlet and a workshop are now located there. On the west side there is a rail freight unloading yard and the Bavarian part of the station, which is mainly used as a train depot for the Unterfranken-Shuttle, Erfurter Bahn and Deutsche Bahn Regional-Expresses. For the ease of operations there are three signal boxes, a fourth has been closed.
|
|
The adjacent goods yard and junction with the GWR were controlled from a signal box. The station closed to passengers on 29 October 1951 and the train shed roof was taken down soon after, although passenger traffic on the former GWR line through the station continued until 1963, with goods traffic until 1969. The station was demolished after closure and the site is now occupied by the city centre by-pass road.

Llanrhaiadr Mochnant railway station was a station near Llanrhaeadr-ym- Mochnant, Powys, Wales, on the Tanat Valley Light Railway. The station opened in 1904 and closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1964. The station was situated a mile south-east of the village and on the west side of a level crossing. It had two platforms and a passing loop as well as well as sidings to a goods yard and cattle dock.
|
|
The station dates back to 1882, when it was built by the Great Eastern Railway to serve the village of Lingwood. At this time agriculture was thriving in the village and surrounding areas, so much so that over £1000 was spent on a large warehouse next to the station. This was served by sidings, a second platform and a goods yard. Much of this still exists to this day although is not publicly accessible.
|
|
The station was opened on 4 September 1893, when the line was extended from to . The station was equipped with a single 300 ft platform on the down side, together with a goods only loop. The stationmaster's house was situated on the platform, with a large goods yard and red brick goods shed to the rear. A warehouse used by a local corn merchant was at the Goudhurst end of the yard.
|
|
The goods yard consisted of four sidings, three on the up side and one on the down side of the line. A passing loop on the latter siding that had been taken out of use early in the station's history was reinstated and lengthened in 1943 for unloading ammunition. There were a brick and a timber warehouse, a second brick warehouse was built in 1858 at the request of a corn merchant.
|
|
Under the London and North Eastern Railway, two extra tracks for terminating local (suburban "metro") trains opened in 1934, resulting in five platforms. The 1920 survey of the station shows goods sidings and a turntable on the London side of the up platforms. The goods yard was closed on 4 May 1964 and it became the station's car park. The Hutton Junction suffix in the station's name was removed on 20 February 1969.
|
|
A station known as Woodbury Road opened with the railway on 1 May 1861; It was renamed Exton on 15 Sept 1958 and became Exton Halt on 28 February 1965 but has since lost the "halt" suffix in common with most similar stations. Its location on the banks of the River Exe was exploited for many years by placing a camping coach in the goods yard that could be hired by holidaymakers.
|
|
The station was equipped with a single siding goods yard on the down side of the formation. The yard was to the north of the passenger station, with no goods shed or fixed loading facilities.Jenkins, 1993, page 135 A well-known seasonal traffic from the site was Peele’s Norfolk Black Turkeys.Michael Portillo Visits the MNR From June 1965, when the line was singled, until late 2010 only the down platform was used for passenger services.

The nearest station to Heanor is two miles away at Langley Mill, which has services to Nottingham, Sheffield and beyond. Earlier the Midland Railway had a line between Shipley Gate and Butterley that passed through Heanor, but it was closed to passengers in 1926. The Great Northern Railway had a branch line that terminated in a goods yard and small station in Heanor. Thi was closed in 1928, though temporarily reopened in 1939.
|
|
The station opened on 1 July 1852 by the North British Railway. The goods yard was to the north west and the signal box, which opened in 1900, was on the westbound platform. The station closed on 1 January 1917 but reopened on 1 April 1919, only to close again on 4 July 1955.M E Quick, Railway Passenger Stations in England Scotland and Wales—A Chronology, The Railway and Canal Historical Society, 2002, p.

Goods traffic was to last another eight years with the goods yard closing on 28 December 1964. The station became an unstaffed halt in 1967 with the introduction of pay train working. In 1974 the main station building was demolished and since then a bus shelter type arrangement has sufficed for passengers using the station. Upon sectorisation in 1982 Provincial (renamed Regional Railways in 1989) became responsible for all local passenger services.
|
|
However, the goods yard was closed on 2 September 1963. In connection with the introduction of colour light signalling on the branch the signal box was closed on 27 September 1975 and the signals are now controlled form London Bridge Signalling Centre. Upon sectorisation in 1982, three passenger sectors were created: InterCity, operating principal express services; and London & South East (renamed Network SouthEast in 1986) who operated commuter services in the London area.
|
|
A complex and extensive network of lines lay within the paper works buildings. The goods yard had several sidings, a crane and weighing machine. The line west towards Park from the new station site was not completely doubled until after 1899. A pedestrian footbridge was present, a signal box on the western end of the eastbound platform, typical GNoSR wooden station buildings and a shelter on the westbound platform together with a water tank tower.

However, by this point the Palace Gates Line was in severe decline. Passenger numbers had fallen greatly since the opening of the Piccadilly line, while freight usage dropped throughout the 1950s as a result of improved road haulage and declining demand for coal. The line was closed to passengers on 7 January 1963. With freight usage dwindling to a trickle following the ending of passenger services, the goods yard was closed on 7 December 1964.

Emerging from the cutting, the line traversed an embankment which raised it from the surrounding Kennet flood plains. A skew arch bridge took the line over the Holy Brook, after which a semaphore signal from the junction was situated. A number of ditches and channels were culverted under the embankment, which reduced in height as the line entered Reading. The bridge which once carried Berkeley Avenue over the throat of the goods yard.

The material and form of the original 1891 gates appear to have been removed and replaced with wire mesh and pipe gates at an unknown date. The yard is no longer used for regular loading and goods yard purposes. A sandstone retaining wall raises the railway boundary of the site, behind the goods shed, extending the Yeaman Bridge at the west. Another sandstone retaining wall raises along the railway site above Goldsmith Place on the northern side.

|
Stations were at Braceborough Spa (a platform only, serving a nearby place where healing waters could be taken), Thurlby (which had a small goods yard) and Bourn. There was a siding at Wilsthorpe, east of Braceborough, serving Peterborough Corporation Waterworks. In the mid-1930s a halt was provided at this point on the main road, named Wilsthorpe Crossing Halt. As a turntable had not been installed at Bourn, the line had to be worked by a tank engine.
|
|
In addition to the passenger stock for the District line until 1905 and for the Piccadilly line from 1906 to 1932, the depot has been the base for a number of service vehicles. The last steam passenger working on the District line was on 5 November 1905, and 48 locomotives were sold for scrap. Six were kept, but by 1909, only two were still operational, and were used for shunting at Lillie Bridge, and working in Kensington goods yard.
|
|
The two buildings mentioned were not present in although the short stub of line into the station was present. The later station had a single short platform that was accessed off the A706 on the Longridge side and appears to only have had a pedestrian access with no goods yard or sidings. In 1905 the platform and access are still marked. In 2015 the site of the terminus station remains undeveloped and is mainly occupied by small forestry plantations.
|
|
The station is on the single track rail line between and and there are only a few trains per day. The goods yard at the station closed down in July 1965 along with many other stations on the Esk Valley line. Until the 1950s, trains used to run from the station to Stokesley, Whitby Town and but only the latter two destinations are now served. Next to Great Ayton station is the village garage and towing service.

The original plan had been to build the station 0.1 mile from Red Wharf Bay, but the final plans saw it built half a mile south of nearby Benllech.Jones, Geraint: Anglesey Railways, p. 76. Carreg Gwalch, 2005 Opened in 1909, the station had a waiting room, ticket office, toilets and the longest platform on the line, at (although this was later shortened). The goods yard to the east of the platform contained three sidings and a loop.
|
|
The principal generator of wartime traffic was the airfield established to the north-west of the station behind the signalbox; the airfield was known as Honeybourne and its personnel used the station. A stationmaster's house was located adjacent to the goods yard on the 'Down' side, although Weston-sub-Edge only had a stationmaster until 1932 after which the station came under the control of the stationmaster. Adjoining the house was accommodation for other staff: a ganger and platelayer.
|
|
It was opened as Thorpe on 4 August 1846 by the Midland Railway when it opened the Nottingham to Lincoln Line. The station was located from and from . The station building was to the south of the two running lines on the east side of Station Road which was crossed by a level crossing, there were two platforms and a small goods yard to the north east able to accommodate most types of goods including live stock.
|
|
The Goods Shed was restored and became the country's first 6-day farmers' market and restaurant. The original weighbridge house and a level crossing gate into the former goods yard are preserved in the development. The Invicta has been preserved, having been extensively restored in 1979, and can be seen in the Whitstable Museum and Gallery. The locomotive is not in its original form, since various modifications were made around 1836 in an effort to improve its performance.
|
|
In its rebuilt form, platforms were only provided on the outside (slow) lines, along with a ticket office at street level, substantial canopies and waiting rooms on each side. A new goods yard was also built alongside the eastbound platform. Goods traffic ceased here in June 1964 and the fast lines were removed by the end of the decade. The platform canopies and buildings were demolished in stages in the 1970s, leaving only basic shelters in place.

Napier was the terminus for both Gisborne and Wellington goods trains, though some passenger trains ran straight through, such as the Endeavour express. This section north was mothballed in 2012. The original Napier station building was on the corner of Station Street and Millar Street, close to the centre of Napier. The facilities on the site increased to include the passenger station plus a goods yard, locomotive depot, workshop, and a way and works (maintenance) depot.
|
|
The bank to the first tunnel was built in the harbour. Including the engine shed and goods yard, 68 acres (28 ha) of the harbour was filled in costing £490,000. A "Hutt Road" flyover was constructed over the two tracks of the Wairarapa Line and the four lanes of the Hutt Road south of the Tawa No. 1 tunnel from the new roadway, Aotea Quay. As the flyover crosses them at an angle of 60 degrees it is long.
|
|
Passenger services over the line were restarted in 1977, but as these were long distance, and not local services the station was not reopened. The station's former goods yard and station buildings were let out to a local builders merchant, and remained in place until they were demolished in the 1980s. Two stained glass windows and a sign were salvaged from the old station building, and later incorporated into the new station after being donated by local residents.
|
|
The two through roads were disused from 1985 and were completely removed by October 1989. This enabled the Up platform to be extended out and built over what used to be the Up through and platform roads, with the original Up line slewed to the Down through road. There was a small goods yard north of the line. This has now been removed, but services from Marylebone that terminate at Gerrards Cross use the siding there.

|
Oakley railway station was built by the Midland Railway in 1857 on its extension from Leicester to Bedford and Hitchin. It was closed to passengers in 1958 and closed completely in 1963. The station buildings remain in a dilapidated state though the goods yard is used by a haulage company. About a mile (2 km) north of the station is the point where the Midland installed its first troughs to allow locomotives to pick up water.

The payments to the canal company and development began in 1873, and the line was running by 1875. Originally the railway terminated at Granville Street station and later the Central Goods station and goods yard through a tunnel under the canal, both stations now demolished and built upon. Today it forms a large part of the southern section of the Cross-City Line which runs in another tunnel under the canal adjacent to the Holliday Street Aqueduct.

|
The station was host to a camping coach in 1935 and 1936 and possibly also in 1934. The station was closed by British Railways North Eastern Region on 22 January 1962. Freight facilities had been withdrawn on 1 December 1952 and from that date it had been operated as an unstaffed halt for passengers only. The main station buildings and a small goods yard and siding were constructed on the north side of the line, serving eastbound trains.
|
|
The station once had a goods yard, which was removed in 1986, leaving only a siding at the Up end of the station. On 17 April 1988, the double line block signalling system between Bell and Reservoir was abolished, and replaced with automatic three position signalling. Pedestrian gates were also provided at the Bell Street level crossing during April 1988, in combination with the road boom barriers. On 25 August 2008, Bell was upgraded to a premium station.
|
|
Until closure, the station remained oil-lit and kept its pre-nationalisation signage. Due to high operating costs compared to low patronage, the line and its stations were earmarked for closure on 23 October 1963 and closed to all traffic on 6 January 1964. The tracks were lifted in 1966. The station area and the goods yard were cleared in the 1970s for new housing, and only the platform edges remain in one of the gardens.

Farringdon Halt was an intermediate station on the Meon Valley line which ran from Alton to Fareham, England during the 20th century. A goods yard for loading agricultural produce was already sited there, and in 1930 a short wooden platform of one coach-length was built to serve the village. It opened on 1 May 1931, and from 1 May 1932 until 8 July 1934 was named Faringdon Platform, before reverting to the original name of Farringdon Halt.

The station opened on 2 September 1872 by the Penicuik Railway. The station was situated south of Valleyfield Road. There were three sidings opposite the platform, one running under Peebles Road to the west of the station to serve Bank paper mill, which specialised in producing Bank of Scotland notes. The moderately sized goods yard consisted of four sidings, the siding closest to the station serving a loading dock before entering a large brick goods shed.
|
|
There were probably two platform faces and the goods yard was on the up side. The first stationmaster was a Peter Nesbitt; he remained in post until his death on 10 September 1864. The initial passenger service consisted of six trains each way daily and two on Sundays; trains started and finished at East Grinstead. The service appears to have exceeded expectations as the service increased to nine each way on weekdays, with three on Sundays.
|
|
A tall tower was part of the main building which stood on the departure platform. The departure and arrival platforms and two sidings between were covered by two substantial train sheds with wide glazed arches at the end. The goods yard was situated to the south of the passenger station. A route independent of the Great Western was established on 1 June 1890 when the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway was opened from Lydford to Devonport.

Steam locomotives operated by British Railways for the Underground ran a shuttle service from Epping to Ongar, stopping at Blake Hall, from 1949 until 1957, when the line was electrified and taken over by the Underground's Central line. On 18 April 1966 the goods yard was closed and Blake Hall became a dedicated passenger station. On 17 October 1966, Sunday services were withdrawn. London Underground closed the station on 31 October 1981 due to a lack of custom.
|
|
Three years later a fertiliser distribution depot was opened in the old goods yard (it closed in 1993). The line had been transferred to the Western Region in 1963, and through trains beyond were soon diverted along other routes. The line was reduced to just a single track on 1 April 1967 with a passing loop retained at Gillingham. Initially the single-track sections were westwards to and eastwards to Wilton, but the latter was shortened to in 1986.

The station approach seen in 1999 Albrighton railway station, on the former Great Western Railway's London Paddington to Birkenhead via Birmingham Snow Hill line, serves the large village of Albrighton in Shropshire, England. The former up goods yard is now occupied by a small estate of low rise offices. Passenger numbers using the station have increased dramatically in the last 10 years, with Albrighton being a popular "dormitory village" for commuters to the West Midlands conurbation.

Movements in the goods yard were controlled by flags. In 1911, the census revealed that a population of 457 was served at Allerton station and NER statistics showed that only 5,901 tickets were issued that year whereas had sold 15,169 and had sold 191,752. The principal goods traffic handled at the station was 421 tons of barley and 367 tons of potatoes and 41 wagons of livestock were dispatched from the station. Coal was received via rail.

The station building was located on the down side whilst a goods yard was provided on the up side. By 1914 Elmers End had almost become part of Beckenham on the east side of the railway. On the opposite side a sewage works, the Croydon Council refuse destructor, Beckenham Council's refuse destructor and electric power station as well as two brick works and Crystal Palace District Cemetery were all located. Sidings served the Croydon and Beckenham Council sites.

After World War II and following nationalisation on 1 January 1948, the station fell under the auspices of British Railways Southern Region. Three-aspect colour light signals were installed at the station in 1956. The goods yard was closed on 6 May 1963. The station building was destroyed by fire on 16 December 1973 On 28 May 1975 all signalling came under the control of the London Bridge Signalling Centre and the 1882 signal box was closed.

Waddell later took the NER to an arbitration court in London over the matter seeking financial recompense. In order to provide more space for passengers at Scarborough railway station, the NER built a new goods yard at Gallows Close between 1899 and 1902. In the early part of the 20th century the main commodities handled at Gallows Close were ale, bricks, fish, coal and manure. The busiest year was 1926 when of goods were handled; forwarded and received.

Lord Lytton set up a company, Knebworth Garden Villages, to build homes either side of the railway embankment. Prior to this only a few farmhouses had stood nearby including Swangley’s farm and Deards End farm. The Station eventually grew to include a signal box and goods yard to the north, approximately where Kerr Close is now. Migrants from London, neighbouring counties and even more distant areas of the country came to work in the new settlement.

Oban station in 1948 Oban station opened on 1 July 1880. A ticket platform (long since disused but still in situ) was located on the west side of the single line, about to the south. Just south of there, a short branch line diverged to the east, towards a goods yard and engine shed. Two additional platforms were constructed on the west side of the station in 1904, following the opening of the branch from to .

Brunswick Dock railway station was on the Liverpool Overhead Railway, adjacent to Brunswick Dock and in close proximity to the Cheshire Lines Committee's extensive goods yard of the same name. It was opened on 6 March 1893 by Robert Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury. The station had a hydraulic lift bridge which enabled a section of track to be lifted up to allow large vehicles to pass underneath. It was heavily bombed during the Liverpool Blitz.
|
|
The station was opened as Sandling Junction on 1 January 1888 by the South Eastern Railway (SER). The station was situated at the junction of the SER mainline (between and Folkestone and the Sandgate branch line that had opened in 1874 between and . There were four platforms with a footbridge over the mainline, two signal boxes and goods sidings either side of the branch line. The goods yard was able to accommodate most types of goods including live stock.
|
|
The goods yard was equipped with a 10 ton crane. The L&NWR; became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) during the Grouping in 1923. The station was renamed Atherton Bag Lane on 2 June 1924 to distinguish it from the Atherton Central on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. It passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 and was closed by the British Transport Commission six years later.
|
|
The former Up platform became the Branch Platform and a bay platform was constructed at its west end. A goods loop ran to the south of the Down Main line. A turntable was provided in the goods yard for turning the branch line locomotives. A short distance beyond the junction, the branch line spanned Loch Etive by means of Connel Bridge, a cantilever bridge with a span length that was at the time second only to the Forth Bridge.

It was opened on 1 May 1860 by the London and North Western Railway, some twelve years after the line serving it.Disused Stations - Llanfairfechan Disused Stations Site Record; Retrieved 30 May 2017 It was provided with a goods yard, signal box and a sizeable station building on the eastbound platform. A camping coach was positioned here by the London Midland Region from 1960 to 1964. Goods traffic ceased here in June 1964, but it remained open for passenger services.
|
|
The station was opened on 1 October 1892, when the line was opened from to Hope Mill, for Goudhurst & Lamberhurst. The station was equipped with a single 300 ft platform on the up side, together with a loop serving a fruit packing warehouse. To the rear of the station are the stationmaster's house, a three-storey building with dormer windows, and a goods yard. The village of Horsmonden lies a short distance to the west of the station.

There is a large car park for 400 cars, administered by West Midlands Trains, in part of the old goods yard between the two railway stations. The Severn Valley Railway has its own car park on the town centre side of their station. The station has a booking office, a newsagents/snack bar, a BT Phone Box, a cash point and a ticket machine. In 2009 a recently opened bridge (with lifts) has transformed access between the platforms.
|
|
The station buildings were demolished though the stationmaster's house remains. A gantry crane was installed over a single remaining siding in the former goods yard to allow the loading of nuclear fuel flasks from Berkeley nuclear power station which saw regular, if infrequent, use. The power station was decommissioned in 1989 but the siding and crane remain in place. The track through the site remains as the Sharpness docks link is still open for very occasional freight services.
|
|
Because the Lea Valley local services were diesel operated the down side bay where these normally terminated was not electrified. The goods yard was closed on 1 June 1966. In preparation for the new Lea Valley electric services the area was re-signalled on 11/12 January 1969 although Cheshunt signal box was retained. The lines south via were not electrified until 10 March the same year with electric passenger services starting on 5 May 1969.

When the Great Western Railway opened the Henley Branch Line on 1 June 1857, the only intermediate station was . The Great Western Railway provided no station at Wargrave; apparently it considered Twyford station close enough. After many complaints from the villagers the GWR opened a station in 1900. At the time the line was double, so two platforms and a footbridge were provided, there was a goods yard with a few sidings and a 6 ton crane.

The Society's Depot and Museum is situated in the old Goods Yard adjacent to Paterson Railway Station. This one hectare site is located on the north- western side of the North Coast Railway Line, 213 kilometres north of Sydney and 20 kilometres north of Maitland. The site houses the Society's rail motor fleet, a large three-road storage shed, maintenance facilities and the old station Master's cottage. The cottage houses a small museum with a collection of railway memorabilia.

Local Indigenous people used the area for thousands of years conducting meetings and ceremonies. In 1825 the Roma Street Parkland area was part of the original Brisbane settlement. In 1875 a railway terminal station in Roma Street was constructed as part of the Main Line railway linking Brisbane to Ipswich and Toowoomba. The terminal grew to become a major goods yard for Brisbane and, between 1911 and 1934, the area was extensively redeveloped to support its increase in services.

The signal boxes that controlled the west and the south junctions (Forres South, Forres West) have long gone, and no trace remains. The box at Forres East (latterly renamed 'Forres') remained in use until the old station was decommissioned on 6 October 2017. The box also supervised a level crossing and manual token exchanges between train drivers and the duty signaller would take place next to the box. The goods yard is now completely demolished and track lifted.
|
|
Cheadle Hulme was also used as a goods depot until 31 October 1964, when goods trains were withdrawn. The goods yard is now a car park. The lines to Crewe and Stoke-on-Trent were electrified in 1960 and 1967 respectively. In 1963, due to the growing amount of traffic travelling down Station Road, it was decided that the parts of the road that pass under the bridges should be widened, as they were becoming a bottleneck.
|
|
The line itself crossed the main road from the village to Jurby - Station Road - and on the northerly side there was once a modest goods yard, cattle dock and siding. The raised cattle dock is still visible along with a goods shed. Today the disused line is grassed over and is a popular footpath extending as far as Kirk Michael in the west and Lezayre in the east. The walking of dogs along this footpath is prohibited.

Today, the original station building located on the west side of Camberwell Station Road is in converted use as a mechanic's garage. At track level, nothing of the two side platforms remain but small fragments of the degraded island platform are still visible. The goods yard is now occupied by a residential development. Camberwell station was mentioned in the 1956 film Private's Progress as a good place to get off a train and avoid paying a fare.

After the Blatchford Viaduct is the old Cornwood railway station where George Hennet's station house is on the right. Slade Viaduct brings rises to the top of Hemerdon Bank, the steepest climb for trains heading towards Newton Abbot. A fast run down the bank to the site of Plympton railway station, and then Tavistock Junction. The large goods yard here includes a maintenance shed for on-track equipment and a connection to the china clay drier at Marsh Mills.

Edwardstown railway station was opened in 1913. Edwardstown railway station once had a goods yard, where SteamRanger restored its centenary carriages when it was received from the State Transport Authority. It is of an island platform construction, with pedestrian access at the northern and southern ends and the railway tracks on either side to the east and west. The station is unattended and there are no facilities, other than a shelter shed and public address system.
|
|
The access line to this was from the western line of the goods yard, and threw off a carriage siding before bifurcating and running into the shed. There was a short spur parallel to the west side of the shed entrance, which was used for major refits in the open air. Next to this was an open-fronted shed. The original shed was a rickety wooden structure with walls of Kentish weatherboarding and a tin roof.

The Prince Alfred Sidings were formerly to the south of Platform 23 and on the eastern perimeter of the site, making up the boundary with Prince Alfred Park to the southeast. The Prince Alfred or "PA" electric car sidings were built only after the flyovers. Prior to the construction of the electric lines, the yard was a goods yard containing Produce and Goods Sheds as well as the first carriage shed. All have been removed from this precinct.
|
|
High-density housing was built at the same time and surrounded the railway buildings. From the 1960s, the area fell into decline: the works and goods yard were closed and demolished, and most of the housing was cleared. This left large areas of derelict land which attracted small-scale redevelopment and transient commercial enterprises. Proposals for redevelopment were made from the 1980s onwards; in 2001 a master plan was granted planning permission by Brighton and Hove City Council.
|
|
A large part of the site was taken up by the car park of Brighton railway station. (Picture taken in 1996) The completion of the Brighton Main Line from London to Brighton in 1841 encouraged high-density housing development on the hill west of London Road. Between this area and the railway line and station stood Brighton's steam locomotive works and the lower part of the station goods yard. The first locomotive was produced here in 1852.
|
|
Part of the land was incorporated into the car park, and the rest saw a mixture of uncoordinated uses, such as small office blocks and used car dealerships. Many of the houses adjoining the goods yard were demolished in 1962 and 1968, and some tower blocks were built nearby. Further north, a large multi-storey car park was built in 1976 close to St Bartholomew's Church. Various proposals were put forward for more effective use of the land.

The station opened as Eastgrange, Culross and Torryburn on 28 August 1850 by the North British Railway. To the west was the goods yard and to the north was the signal box, which was reduced to a ground frame in 1926. The station's name was changed to East Grange, Culross and Torryburn in 1878, changed to East Grange and Culross in 1886 and changed to East Grange in 1909. The station closed to passengers on 15 September 1958.
|

The station was opened on 1 September 1883 when the Anstruther and St Andrews Railway opened the line between and Boarhills. The station was the temporary terminus while the remainder of the railway to was completed, this section opened on 1 June 1887. To the north was the goods yard able to accommodate livestock, the yard was equipped with a 1½ ton crane. The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939.
|
|
The down side platform was demolished and rebuilt to allow four tracks to run through the station, two fast straddled by two slow, designated Main and Relief. The station's platforms were on the slow lines, with the down platform having a "Pagoda" building, apparently for use as a waiting room. A loading dock was provided at the end of the down platform. In the goods yard, a grounded coach body served as a Methodist Church from the 1930s.
|
|
The shelters were mainly used by passengers waiting for trains, but at least two - at and - were "Pagoda lamp huts", whilst one at was a shed. and each had a "Pagoda bike shed". Pagoda huts existed next to Weymouth Junction signalbox, and in station goods yard, neither was for passenger use. A Pagoda shelter was erected at right angles to the track next to the down platform at , unsigned and painted black; research continues into its purpose.
|
|
A small goods yard and coal depot was built at the north-west end of the station at the same time. A signal box was built on the southern platform at the end of the First World War. By 1929, services had increased to 21 trains per day on weekdays and eight per day on Sundays. This allowed a train every half-hour, with one train per hour running to Bristol Temple Meads and the other terminating at .
|
|
The 1899 OS map shows considerable change with the old overbridge removed and a new one built to the west at Bridge Street with a signal box next to it and a short siding beyond. The passing loop was extended to run through the now two platformed station and a new expanded goods yard with a goods shed built. Several sidings, storage sheds and a crane are marked. The old loading dock site became the new platform.
|
|
An adequately sized goods yard could be found on the down side, with the goods shed situated on the up side. A steel bridge led out from the station over West Street towards the spartan pier on the muddy banks of the Thames. Passenger services consisted of boat trains from London which connected with steamer services across the Thames and beyond. It was from the West Street Pier that the ill-fated sailed on 3 September 1878.

The works and five collieries comprising of private mineral lines were purchased by Richard Thomas & Co. in 1935. Trevil station was in an isolated location, situated just to the south of the Castle Inn. It had two platforms, the main brick-built station building and house being situated on the Down platform. No goods yard was provided but parcels were handled and private sidings were provided in connection with the Beaufort Ironworks which ran parallel with the Sirhowy Tramway.

After turning back towards the north east, the line reaches the second highest point on the line at . This is from Minehead and has a single platform on the right. On the opposite side of the line, the goods yard is now the Somerset and Dorset Railway Trust's museum with its collection of rolling stock and a display of signalling equipment. The line now swings north-eastwards and starts to descend, initially at 1 in 74 (1.35%).

The duties of the two tank engines included piloting the station, shunting the goods yard and banking goods trains up to . Following Nationalisation, the code 70E was allotted to Reading depot in 1950, which it retained until 1959, when it became a sub-shed of Basingstoke. The depot was reduced in importance in May 1954, when most of the locomotives were transferred away leaving just two shunting engines, but complete closure did not occur until January 1965.

Just before 4:00 pm on 4 February 1944, a large explosion rocked the goods yard in Catterick Bridge railway station. Soldiers had been engaged in loading wagons with explosives which would have eventually been used in the D-Day effort. Speculation has been rife since about what caused the explosion with incorrect handling of the ammunition suggested. One witness recalled seeing the troops days before the explosion handling the ammunition carefully, with two men to a box.
|
|
The station's goods yard was not large, but was capable of accommodating the daily 3 to 12 wagons destined for the gasworks and the 4 to 5 wagons of malt and sugar for the brewery. A cattle dock could take four vans, and a 5-ton capacity crane was stationed in the yard.Simpson, B., p. 92-93. The arrival of the Great Central in Brackley saw a great deal of trade ebb away from the branch.

|
The word medd in the name is Welsh for mead, which is made from honey, and the name may be related to the production of honey for mead. The disused Anglesey Central Railway runs through the village. Its station, opened in 1866, was closed in 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe, and its goods yard is now a car park. There is now a cafe and tea rooms housed in a modern extension of the old buildings.

There were a number of sidings opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1850 used for goods traffic. There was a short spur line off here that ran parallel with the adjacent Regent's Canal and allowed coal to be dropped directly in barges. These sidings lasted until the 1980s being used for sand traffic (and known at this point as Mile End Sidings). They were still in situ in 2013 although no regular traffic has used the yard for some years. There was also a goods yard adjacent to Globe Road & Devonshire Street station at ground level (the station being on a viaduct at this point) which was built in 1880. Accessed by a steep ramp from the main line the yard was initially worked by horses but c1876 GER Class 209 0-4-0ST locomotives worked the yard. Subsequently these were replaced by small GER Class B74 (LNE classification Y4) 0-4-0T locomotives in 1914. There was also a coal yard south of the railway linked to the goods yard with a line through the viaducts carrying the main line.

The entrance building with a service and a waiting room was built on the track towards Feuerbach. A waiting room was built on the track towards Stuttgart Central Station. An iron footbridge was built across the goods yard. The memorial to the Jewish deportations is located at the old North station In 1908, quadruplication began on the line between Stuttgart Central Station and Ludwigsburg, which led to the nearly complete rebuilding of the tracks and of the North station with it.

The line from Chippenham Junction to Snailwell Junction near Newmarket opened on 1 April 1880 giving Stowmarket a direct link to Ely and the Midlands.The Newmarket to Ely line had opened the previous year From 1883 the North Country Continental used this route to Manchester. Up until 1913 all shunting was performed by either the train locomotive or horses. From that year a local shunting engine was employed additionally and this also covered shunting duties at nearby Needham Goods Yard.
|
|
An inspection pit and coal stage were provided in the early 1920s – probably primarily used by the local shunting locomotive, generally a GER 0-6-0T engine such as a GER Class R24 (LNER Class J67) or similar undertook these duties. Currently (2016) the sidings at Marsh Lane, south of the station and on the site of the former down side goods yard, are used by Direct Rail Services as a locomotive stabling point. A crew office is provided on platform 1.
|
|
A locomotive was hired from the GNR on one or two occasions, and passenger rolling stock was supplied by the GNR.John Wrottesley, The Great Northern Railway: volume 1: Origins and Development, Harpur Collins, 1978, pages 143 and 144 The line had cost £15,000 to build.Simpson, volume 2, pages 15 and 16Leleux, page 28 The GNR had allowed Captain Peel to terminate his line in their Sandy goods yard, on condition that he would remove his works if the GNR required the site.

|
The station goods yard had a goods shed that stood near the station building and three other sidings with a loading dock. A storage hut was located on the platform and in 1959 the platform flower beds were well tended and a number of possibly stored waggons stood in the yard. A shed stood incongruously just beyond the Garmouth end of the platform. The Moray Coast line was predominantly single track apart from a double track section between Buckie and Portessie.
|
|
It had a goods yard, signal box, goods shed, and a level crossing with gates. The signal box near the level crossing was replaced by a signal box located on the platform in 1915.Old Maps Retrieved : 2012-10-30 The signal box was renamed Dousland from Dousland Barn. Much of the old track formation now forms the route of the Dousland to Princetown Railway Track, Dousland station house survives as a private dwelling and the platform is still visible.

In August 1871, the Northampton and Banbury Junction Railway extended its line from to Helmdon. A small wayside station was constructed in an isolated spot about a mile from the village of Wappenham from which it took its name. A single-platform was provided on the down side, with a single siding goods yard to the east. The siding was linked to the main line at each end, forming a loop which enabled the yard to be shunted by up or down trains.
|
|
When the station opened in 1877 a signal box called Gainsborough South was provided. there was also a signal box at Gainsborough North which controlled access to the goods yard and Trent branch (known as Lower yard) South signal box was renamed Lea Road in 1895 when it had a new lever frame made by Evans, O' Donnell & Co fitted. North box was replaced by a ground frame. On 11 February 2009 Gainsborough Lea Road signal box was badly damaged by fire.
|
|
The station was self-contained on one site which incorporated a substantial goods yard, motive power depot and carriage sidings. The station yard was controlled by two signalboxes, one at the west end with 45 levers (first known as "Tunbridge Wells West West" then as the "A Box"), and the other at the east end by Montacute Road Bridge (variously named "East Cabin", "No. 2 Box" and "B Box"). The A Box also controlled roads to the locomotive shed and carriage sidings.
|
|
New platforms with brick-built buildings were provided. The main offices and goods yard were in nearly the same places as before. There were now two signal boxes, Wootton Bassett West and Wootton Bassett East, which were brought into use in November 1901 and July 1903 respectively. By the 1930s Wootton Bassett had become a railhead for railway goods traffic to the surrounding district, with the GWR basing a country lorry service here, and a new warehouse was provided to support this.
|
|
Opposite the goods yard was Filton Junction Signal Box, which controlled the junction and by 1948 had more than 70 levers. Following the opening of the Henbury Loop Line, which diverged from the line towards Wales to the north, the station was renamed Filton Junction on 1 May 1910. Trains on this line used the western platforms, and often operated loop services to and from Bristol Temple Meads via . From 1928, trains could also run loop services via Clifton Down, and .

Ellon Railway Station (originally Ellon for Cruden) was situated on the Formartine and Buchan Railway, which ran from Peterhead/Fraserburgh to Dyce (where it connected to the Great North of Scotland Railway to Aberdeen). A few years after opening, Ellon Station became a junction station for the Boddam Branch line, which ran to Boddam via Cruden Bay. In its heyday the station had three platforms, two for the main line and one for the Boddam Branch. There was also a substantial goods yard.

In this picture, members of the public are being given a ride. By the 19th century horses weighing more than that also moved at a quick pace were in demand. Tall stature, muscular backs, and powerful hindquarters made the draft horse a source of "Horsepower" for farming, hauling freight and moving passengers. The railroads increased demand for working horses, as a growing economy still needed transport over the 'last mile' between the goods yard or station and the final customer.
|

However, there were drastic reductions in the train service during World War II, from which the line never really recovered. From October 1939 the station was served by a shuttle to and from . Through weekday trains to London were reinstated in the spring of 1948, but traffic on the branch was in decline and a shuttle service was again instituted again in 1950, with a handful of through London services in the peak hours. The small goods yard closed in 1963.

Heilbronn Hauptbahnhof is located about 1 km west of the inner city of Heilbronn and the Old Neckar on a 1 km wide island between the old Neckar and the modern canalised Neckar. Southwest of the modern Neckar is the Heilbronn goods yard. At the western end of the station is the beginning of Bahnhofstraße (station street), which runs over the Friedrich Ebert Bridge and is a direct extension of Kaiserstrasse running to Marktplatz (market square), the historic centre of Heilbronn.

The remaining station buildings were then demolished and the site sold off for retail redevelopment. The former goods yard is now a supermarket with carpark, and the Durham platform is now the site of a cycling and motoring store and a bank. The station is currently operated by Northern, which provides National Rail passenger services. In 2012, Bishop Trains adopted the station from Northern Rail (the operator at the time), providing a National Rail Ticket Office and staff for the station.

The station at Milverton in Somerset was initially just a single platform on the south side of the line with a brick building. A passing loop and second platform were installed in 1880; the line east to Norton Fitzwarren was doubled on 7 February 1937. The station had a signal box on the westbound platform and a small goods yard to the west of the station on the same side of the line. Goods traffic was withdrawn from 30 September 1963.

Darling Harbour 1900 Darling Harbour is named after Lieutenant-General Ralph Darling, who was Governor of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831. The area was originally known as Long Cove, but was generally referred to as Cockle Bay until 1826 when Governor Darling renamed it after himself. The name Cockle Bay has recently been restored in reference to the headwaters of the harbour. It was originally part of the commercial port of Sydney, including the Darling Harbour Railway Goods Yard.

Flanders and Swan online "Slow Train" lyrics > nyanko.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk The Selby to Goole Line which opened in 1910, ran via the villages of Rawcliffe, Drax & Barlow until its closure in 1964. There was a small buffet run by the Kitwood family on the up platform and a small office on the down platform serving a wholesale newspaper business run by Joe Kelbrick; nearby there is a small goods yard used by EWS steel trains. The station saw heavy redevelopment in the 1970s.

The depot closed in 1970 following the opening of a centralised APCM plant at Northfleet.White, H.P., op. cit. p. 128. A brief revival took place in 1974 when the APCM took a lease of the former goods yard at Southfleet, constructed a small prefabricated engine shed and laid out sidings. The 1100 yards of track remaining beyond Southfleet was used to store wagons; the depot saw relatively frequent services - 4 up and down per day during the winter of 1974/5.

The track bed from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay was acquired by Derbyshire County Council and the Peak National Park in 1968 for a cycle and walking route. This, the Tissington Trail, was one of the first of such ventures in the country. Later, Ashbourne Tunnel was acquired by Sustrans. The former railway station site is now a car park for Ashbourne's Leisure Centre and the site of the original station and goods yard is now occupied by the new St.Oswald's Hospital.

Because of its "isolation", Lyttelton was for many years operated as a railway port. The wharves had tracks running on to them from the Lyttelton yards, and cargo was loaded on and off ships at the wharves directly to and from goods trains. Much of the goods traffic, especially inwards general cargo, was only consigned as far as Christchurch. This often had the effect of causing serious congestion at the Christchurch station goods yard, with wagons frequently being used for storage.
