Wandering through the annals of time, we uncover the forgotten stories of disused railway stations across the British countryside. Steer Point Station in Devon, built around 1898, once buzzed with activity as passengers embarked on journeys to far-off places. Fast forward to Grimstone and Frampton Station in Dorset, closed in the 1960s, where nature now reclaims the once-busy platform. Plympton Station in Devon, established around 1920, stood proudly as a gateway to the region, but by the 1970s, Lostwithiel Station and its goods shed in Cornwall had fallen into disuse. Fawley Station in Herefordshire, decommissioned in 1979, now lies dormant, waiting for the day when the whistle of a train might echo through its deserted halls once more. Evershot Station in Dorset, a charming relic from around 1910, and Plympton Station's earlier iteration, both hold tales of the past, while Bittaford Platform in Devon, closed in the 1960s, stands as a testament to the changing landscape of transportation. Ashburton Station in Devon, a late 1960s addition, was a brief stop on the railway line before it too was abandoned, leaving behind only memories and the faint echoes of the steam trains that once roared through.
