i was on google earth the other day, looking at the Takeley station, which to my understanding is currently not in use for anything. all boarded up, and suffering from graffiti.

a screneshot from google earth of the Takeley station, you can clearly see where the line used to be in each direction.

after following the line east, i got to a field, and a horrible site in the middle of it. a motorway. i have marked where the line opens into the field and goes out of the field with red marks.

after exiting the field and continuing through trees, it then comes to a industrail estate or retail park. :'(
just before it is where hockerill halt used to be.

does anyone know how much it would cost to buy a station like that?
just out of general interest.
