andytrains Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Heriot. Heriot is a village in the Moorfoot Hills, situated south-east of Edinburgh. Heriot had a railway station on the Waverley Route from Carlilse to Edinburgh, from 1849 until the branch line closures instigated by Beeching in the 1960s. The line was to be closed in the Beeching Axe, from 2nd January 1967, with closure notices posted at all stations on the line. 508 official objections were lodged against the closure within the six weeks of the closure notice being issued. There was a reprieve and the situation was on hold pending a review which resulted in a public hearing being held. On 15 July 1968, the then Minister for Transport gave the final order that the line would close on Monday 6th January 1969. There was a public outcry at the decision and a high-profile campaign to save the line, including a petition to 10 Downing Street. This was unsuccessful in preventing the closure. The last passenger train (and the last train to traverse the entire route) was 1M82 21.56 Edinburgh Waverley - London St Pancras sleeper on 5 January 1969, hauled by Peak, D60 "Lytham St Annes". The Scottish Parliament has voted to reinstate the railway, but without a station at Heriot. The original station at Heriot showing the staggered platforms with level crossing in between them:- Edited July 23, 2013 by andytrains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrains Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) North Ballachulish. North Ballachulich is a few miles north of Ballachulish and the Ballchulish Bridge. Below the bridge is the Ballachulish Hotel - a stylish 19th century building with commanding views across to the west. There was once a ferry to convey vehicles, sheep and people across the narrows where Loch Leven becomes Loch Linnhe on its way to the sea. In 1903 a branch line was opened by the Callander and Oban Railway, from Connel Ferry to Ballachulish. The line was then run by the caledonian Railway and then the LMS and in 1948 came under BR ownership. The line closed in 1966. The old terminus station at Laroch (Ballachulish) is now an award-winning Doctor's surgery.

RMweb Premium Torper Posted July 27, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 27, 2013 Oswestry - Once upon a time a railway town and headquarters of the Cambrian Railway with its own railway works. In the 1990s the station building and site was bought by Tesco, but planning permission for a new supermarket was refused by an enlightened local authority which eventually purchased the site. It is now the HQ of the Cambrian Railway Society and trains are running again in Oswestry. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrains Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Youlgreave. Youlgreave or Youlgrave, is a village in the Peak District, on the River Bradford, about 2 miles south of Bakewell. Both of the spellings are used on different local signposts and on different maps. The name possibly comes from "yellow grove" (the ore mined locally being yellow in colour). The village is locally known as "Pommie". It has the reputation as being the the most miss-spelt village. Below is a list of the miss-spelt versions compiled by local teacher at Youlgrave school, Mr J W Shimwell:- Giolgrave Yolgrave Jalgrave Hyolgrave Hyolegrave Yolgreff Yoleg Yolegreve Yolegrave Youlgraue Welegreve Yoelgreve Oelgreve Yelegreve Yeolegreve Yolgreave Yolgreve Yollegreve Jol've Zolgrelf Yollgreve Yoligrewe Yollegrewe Youlgreve Zolgreff Youlgrave (1492) Yolgreyva Yolgreyve Yeolgreave Youlgreave (1595) Yellegrave Yollogreve Yollograve Yeollgreave Youldgreave Yograve Isgrave Yalgrove Yolegreue Jolegreue lolegrave Jholegreve Yelegrave Yellegrave Iolgrave Yholgreve Yelgreve Zolgreve Edited July 27, 2013 by andytrains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
