About this blog

Disused and Misused

 

This blog is a collation of all the serialised track plans and descriptions of real (but disused) railways originally posted randomly in various forum posts here on RMWeb. Along with some (mostly) light-hearted and descriptions of (mostly) imaginary railways that might have been, but never were. Usually because they were bonkers (not viable) schemes. With the addition of some semi-fictional accounts of correspondence from the guilty parties at the original times. Along with an (in)famous scheme that actually was started, but (literally) never went anywhere - the Dawlish Avoiding Line (DAL).  As it will take me a while to collate all the bits scattered across the forum posts, the first thing I'll do is put links to the original forum posts in the Sidebar. To remind myself what was where. Then create blog posts, expanding the stories, and add them to the Sidebar as well.

The Dawlish Avoiding Line

Introduction   This relates to the Dawlish Avoiding Line as proposed in 1933. Not to be confused with the Dawlish Avoiding Line re-proposed 2012 and onwards I'd dithered about where to put this topic.   Option 1 : Imaginary Railways? Well, no, because it was granted approval and land was acquired, route surveying started in Spring 1939, with poles along the proposed route. So it was no longer imaginary or just proposed. Option 2: Disused Railways? Well, no
