Title: Most recent closures Post by: grahame on August 22, 2022, 11:05:12 Railway line including station (dates of last train in passenger service) since 1980
Clayton West and Skelmanthorpe - 24th January 1983 Corby - 2nd June 1990 (but re-opened 23rd February 2009) Sinfin Cental and Sinfin North - 17th May 1993 Croxley Green and West Watford - 22th March 1996 Shoreditch - 9th June 2006 (but replaced by Shoreditch High Street) Stations on a line that remains open - date of last call (I have not listed stations replaced such as Angel Road) since 2012 IBM - 28th December 2018 ("service suspended") Teeside Airport - May 2022 I'm sure I have overlooked some ... Title: Re: Most recent closures Post by: stuving on August 22, 2022, 11:25:56 I thought the last formal legal station closure was Newhaven Marine (and Teeside Airport is "only" closed temporarily).

Tunbridge Wells - Eridge 6 July 1985. Elmers End - Addiscombe 31 May 1997 Elmers End - Sanderstead 13 May 1983 Wimbledon - West Croydon 31 May 1997 Coulsdon North 3 Oct 1983 Title: Re: Most recent closures Post by: grahame on August 22, 2022, 12:12:49 I thought the last formal legal station closure was Newhaven Marine (and Teeside Airport is "only" closed temporarily). Last passenger call, though, 2006 ... I also wondered whether to list Norton Bridge, Barlaston, Wedgewood. A few more, Graham Tunbridge Wells - Eridge 6 July 1985. Elmers End - Addiscombe 31 May 1997 Elmers End - Sanderstead 13 May 1983 Wimbledon - West Croydon 31 May 1997 Coulsdon North 3 Oct 1983 You can never put a Southern man down ;-). Good call on Tunbridge Wells to Eridge, and on Coulsdon North. The Croydon stuff comes into the same basket as Shoreditch and Angel Road - how much of a closure and how much of an upgrade to an alternative?

Title: Re: Most recent closures Post by: paul7575 on August 22, 2022, 13:52:50 British Steel Redcar is similar to IBM I think. Unused but not officially closed? Can’t find a date so far…
Norton Bridge was formally closed, but IIRC only a relatively short time ago in 2019, long after the rail service stopped in 2004.

I'd agree with you on the 1997 closures for Tramlink, Graham. Quite a bit of Elmers End - Sanderstead hasn't been reused for the trams, though, and of course, that was a much earlier closure. I travelled the line once and visited Coombe Rd and Bingham Rd stations. Haven't been through there for a while but I think the platform it used at Selsdon is still there.
