RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted December 18, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2016 Don't forget weighbridge and corrugated iron shed is over there too. Yes, there's a square marked out for the weighbridge. I do note though it seems to be absent in later period shots. Perhaps the GWR tin shed replaced the original weighbridge hut?

John R Smith Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Something that I have never understood - after the railbuses were introduced in mid 1964, the WR lifted various little bits of track at this end of the station. Nothing of any consequence, just little bits and pieces which were presumably regarded as redundant, but surely of no scrap value whatsoever. The station was demoted to an unstaffed halt and left to become increasingly derelict and neglected. I could only ever see this as a deliberate attempt to drive away any remaining passengers so that there would be no objections to closure. When what should have been done was to have a direct and frequent railbus service to Wadebridge (with no exchange platform nonsense) and promote it accordingly - either that, or close North completely and concentrate all traffic at General.

John There was a lot of deliberate running down of services at times to facilitate closure. One I knew of was the Much Wenlock to Wellington service where the railway staff were ordered not to enter buildwas station until the Shrewsbury train left to stop passengers wanting to go to Shrewsbury to take the train.

My direct train to Paddington from the Greenford branch has been culled for Crossrail and we get a two minute connection at West Ealing. Even assuming they are on time, it takes longer than that to get over the tiny congested footbridge. Not surprisingly the trains are now very quiet and I wonder if the proposed increase in frequency will be quietly dropped. Although now it is an isolated siding, it is perfect for an auto train in the summer!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
