Disused railway stations in Gwynedd
It's a long time since I have posted one of these videos, but I don't think Gwynedd has appeared here before.

Disused stations on the Oswestry to Welshpool line
Exciting news! We have not finished with Oswestry to Welshpool.
Here Holden Webster, who runs the Shropshire Railways site, returns to this line to look for more remains of disused stations.

Disused railway stations in Aberdeenshire
It is some while since we had one of these slideshows, but then I am running out of ones I have not shown you.
See them all on this blog's Disused Stations label.
Later. The above was truer than I realised as I posted this video at the start of 2016. Still, you can enjoy it all over again tonight.

Disused railway stations in Highland
The poet Burns writes:
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

Disused railway stations in the Scottish Borders
The reopened Waverley Route currently ends at Tweedbank, just north of Melrose. I am not sure how further restoration would be reconciled with the town's bypass.

Disused railways stations in Sheffield
I remember Brightside from my journeys to and from York as a student. It survived until 1995, as did the nearby Attercliffe Road (which was a different station from the Attercliffe shown here).
In my student days too, the train from Sheffield to Penistone and Huddersfield ran through the disused Victoria station and up the Don Valley.
You tell young folk now and they won't believe you.

Ashdon Halt revisited
When I posted the video of disused stations in Essex, I was rather taken with Ashdon Halt. Its platform building, an old coach, was still in situ years after the last train called.
The video above shows Ashdon Halt in 2011 1997 and whilst open.
The station was on the old Great Eastern line between Audley End and Bartlow, It opened in 1911 and closed when the line was closed in 1964.
You can read more about it on Disused Stations.
