Four Oaks Station early 1980s. Then it had extra DMU sidings, a lineside hut and a signal box - all now gone sadly......

But if you hunt around remnants of the past can still be found - wooden sleepers on the bay platform buffer stop:-


Remnants of the old trackwork still remain:-




Broken wooden sleeper on the bay platform line:-


Platform 2 & 3 buildings are wonderfully preserved:-



Metal plates on concrete platform footbridge:-



And on the roadbridge:-

I don't know but the B&W's were taken around 45 years ago - have you only just missed it?
