tamperman36 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Most terminal stations around that date would have concrete, brick or stone platforms. You may find some with wooden platform extensions. The only place I can think of would be Ryde pier head station on the Isle of White. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted November 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2017 I think you might find some short sections where, for example, the station is on a bridge. Stonehaven comes to mind, although it's obviously not a terminus. I think the dark sections of surface in this picture http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/50/35/4503530_0f55c5dd.jpg are wooden, where the platforms extend over a road on a steel girder bridge. I can't remember what the face of the platform is though, and they certainly aren't "wooden platforms" in the traditional sense, but might give you ideas or inspiration for whatever you're looking to build.

RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted November 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2017 HI Andrew, As with some of the above comments I would suggest that timber platforms would have been rare. That said, I have encountered 'temporary' surfacing formed from heavy plywood sheeting covered with something akin to coarse roofing felt to reduce slip hazards. Hope that's of help. Regards, Alex.

Taigatrommel Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 West Yorkshire PTE in the 1980s opened some stations with wooden platforms, though none were termini. Bramley and Outwood come to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
