Which disused stations in TSW routes? Not just places where stations where, but physical evidence of closed stations. I can think of - I'm sure I've forgotten many - Norton Bridge (Birmingham-Crewe) Kingskerswell (Riviera Line) Woodhaven (LIRR) Burn Naze (Blackpool Branches)
Dresden Leipzig has a couple I think, I think Tees Valley has one (or atleast I’ve never stopped there on a service) WCMLS has one as well just before Euston
That would be the original South Bank station which was moved approx 1/2 mile up the line in 1984. I suppose we could also count 50% of Ryde Esplanade station as one platform is now completely disused.
Dresden Leipzig has Bornitz and Dornreichenbach on the section between Riesa and Wurzen LGV has three on the Marseille end between the main station and the high speed line entry tunnel
The one on WCML South is Primrose Hill. On Koeln-Aachen it's Nothberg. Can't believe I forgot some of these!
I've seen a few on Liverpool to crew, also peak forest, tvl and isn't there a couple on ntp? I know it's not a station but you can see the remains of the croxley branch near Watford jct on wcml. There's hoo jct staff halt, is kind of a station I guess.
Well I guess what I said aren't platforms but I might be thinking of Queen's Park, yes. Middle platforms at Wembley Central are also disused or just missing services in game.
The only one that comes to the top of mind is Woodhaven Station on the new Long Island Railroad Commuter route. Here’s a YouTube link for the station:
A lot of routes in TSW have disused/abandoned stations with some recognizable infrastructure left in place for the time period when the route was represented. Too many to count TBH. Your responses always make my day Keep it up !
Blackpool branches poulton in direction to the burn naze. There you can follow back the disused triangle section to blackpool.
It's what makes this route special, all those abandoned stations, platforms, signal boxes or stations still in use but looking like right after war bombings. The "best" years of UK rail.
Not sure, what is meant by physical evidence...but let's take RSN... Lenhausen... Rönkhausen Ohle Einsal Nachrodt
Not the Bakerloo line, to my knowledge there aren't any disused Bakerloo line stations apart from parts of the old Trafalgar Square station that are bricked off (on the current Charing Cross station). The 8 deep-level shelters in the Second World War were mainly built under existing (not disused) Northern line stations, plus Chancery Lane (Central line). Other existing at the time (not abandoned) stations were also used as general shelters, such as Liverpool Street and Aldwych (the latter of course since closed). The only then-abandoned tube station I'm aware of that was used for wartime shelter was King William Street.
There’s Thornton on Blackpool Branches as well. Love how the old Poulton station is findable on that route.
There's some stations on the GWR which I have never seen used, can't remember which ones but there are a few Im sure of it
If you are talking about the two immediatatly outside Paddington, they’re underground stations being added properly in the remaster
Hanwell IIRC doesn't have a service on GWE's current timetable, IIRC, though it isn't abandoned, it's just not served by GWR I think.
The Pawtucket and Central Falls station is supposed to be on the Boston Providence route, but DTG never bothered to model it.
There's one on the St Austell to Penzance line, its kind of on a curve and has a level crossing on one end. It seems like its based in some kind of countryside private estate.
JT made an excellent manual for the route, it lists many of the landmarks along it, including the former stations (p.22 onwards). https://downloads.justtrains.net/products/JTF003001/WCML_Preston_Carlisle_TSW5_manual.pdf
On the East Coastway you pass some abandoned platforms between Bishopstone and Newhaven. I think it's a different station to Newhaven Marine. The route looks like it used to be double-tracked.
No it was after beeching. Several lines in the UK have been reduced to single track to reduce maintenance costs. Well I say UK, in the south.
