indeed.

our great past is disappearing and quite quickly

To be fair, if Beeching hadn't closed the lines people couldn't have built on them.

The Yorkshire Steam Heritage and Yorkshire Life have put together a brief guide of the light and steam railways around the county of Yorkshire, which they hope will interest readers. It can be viewed online as a magazine 32 pages, looks good!!!

thanks steammiester

On the suject of disused stations, there is a platform unused on the line between Peartree and Derby, I even think it had a name - was this previously a station of some sort?

David,
It's called Ramsline Halt. There's some info about it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsline_Halt

Thanks John. Interesting to find that out. From what I remember it was very close to Derby so it would explain it being the location of the former Derby football ground.

I'm going to take it for granted that you want buildings that still exist as opposed to just used to be there.

there is a station building just off the midland mainline, (fast line side) south of luton airport parkway near a tiny village that I believe is called east hyde. the station was Chiltern Green.

there are also remnents of two stations between west hampstead thameslink and kentish town but they are little more than bricks and stuff in the ten foot now.

also heard that some of the stations on the old luton to leighton buzzard line still exist, can't confirm it though.
