Runnin' down to the station







The golden age of the railway has long gone, and the reason a local station survived the swinging axe of Dr. Beeching in 1963 was the fact that at that time it featured a four track layout. It is on a main line system but somewhat neglected, as shown by the rusted-away passenger lift bell in the top image. The lift itself has not worked for many years and thus prevents some disabled people from using the rail network at this stop. All this is not such good news for those that travel by train, but a whole wealth of subjects for my camera.
