pH Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Clue – from the name of the village at the bottom left of this square, you might think it was a different country within the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 A large town, in addition to the station shown there are two other stations on this same stretch of line that include the towns' name. But this was the only line ever to serve the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The burn is not a scottish one - it's english. This is the square immediately to the NW. The line was rather obscure - it was a colliery line that was only open for a few years in the 1920's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Clue - what eventually became the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway might have been built on the formation of this line if it hadn’t been for the many road crossings. One of the Big Four looked at possibly taking it over, but decided not to. It was then closed in 1935. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 More - building of this line was started before the passing of the Light Railways Act of 1896, so it was originally called a ‘tramway’ to avoid having to build according to regulations that normally covered railways. The ‘tramway’ was supposedly taken over in the 1920s by a railway company formed for that purpose. However, the Southern Railway thought that the terms of the takeover agreement were never implemented and that the line might have been operating with no legal status when they surveyed it with a view to acquiring (and electrifying) it in 1934.

pH Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Steve, I've just done a search of this topic by location, owner and main traffic of these lines. It doesn't look as if we've had this square, at least on this version of RMweb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Originally thought it might be a peat railway but my knowledge of such lines on this side of the Irish sea was nil. Bolton Fell, out in the sticks near Carlisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagrizz Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm surprised this one hasn't been used yet. Maybe it was on the old forum. Still, give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
