them bridges was made of some good bricks eh, mind you they had some weight to carry i would think.
it's sad to see these places when you think how hard the people worked to keep them up to scratch, getting passengers on and off the trains etc,

Every structure that is left abandoned, be it bridge or station or embankment or cutting, is testament to a time when a pride existed in the constuction of them.
I spend a lot of time looking for this sort of thing and the abandonment of them is sad. They where built to last forever. Nice record Buffer.
Long may they last.

A useful record Buffer. Thanks for posting.

What a waste of infastructure!!

Tumby Woodside was not part of the Beeching cuts closing in 1970

Thanks for that Bubblewrap, also in this case i better say sorry to Beecham, i guess i took it for granted he was behind it.
Mind you it was still sad to come across the old station and see it in that state.

Beeching not Beecham.

It is quite surprising what survives of closed railways you only have to look around.Some of the railway buildings survive of the old LNWR line Loughborough - Coalville are still in place.And a good section of the track bed survives.

Thats right Bubblewrap, as I have said many times I love finding, and photographing anything that left. They have dissappeared next time you go back.

It's a pity the job wasn't given to Beecham rather than Beeching. An orchestral conductor would have understood that the piccolo, though rarely used, is an essential part of the orchestra, and that you don't weigh in all the trombones for scrap just because you're doing string quartets this week.
