28XX Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Sadly it seems this is another casualty of "progress". I'm parked outside. The shutters are down and I can just make out "CLOSING DOWN" in whitewash marker on the windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45568 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Whereabouts in Stechford is/was this? I left UK 40+ years ago, but was a regular at the 'old' station as a spotter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRUNFOS Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It was a few hundred yards from the station opposite the swimming baths, closed about a month ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's many years since I've been in there but wasn't it just secondhand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doodaa Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Remember spending a fortune there, in the early 1990's as a student. Along with 'The Sidings' it think in Witton, and a shop that mostly sold 2nd rail magazines, some where in north Brum Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

centraltrains Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The owner retired. I assume He left his 'proper' job at the same time as I've not seen Him driving since. I thought the owner had left and sold up due to ill health their opening days had been reduced from Thur, Fri & Sat to Thur and Fri for quite along time though.. Shame as I enjoyed that shop especially with the nearby Stechford station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
