Any freight as the York-Leeds-Hull traffic would seem a “must be”??

My local station

If i were Network Rail, I would send in Engineers on a day when the network is closed, reinstall the signage, make a new path on their land adjacent to the track, and connect it to the closest public footpath, all the while the engineer train standing in the station, with the engine running as they are carrying out the work. That way they will have little interaction with the residents.

Great video.

1:59 the single class 153 on its own looks weird

I’m pretty sure there’s a fantastic model railway based on this station. It’s on RUclips a channel called PILENTUM.

My, how it has changed! When I first used it, the then station, a few hundred metres away towards Birmingham, as it was then, had clearly suffered from years of decay, and only had one platform served by a single car train shuttling between it and Barnt Green! This was back in the mid 1980's and many of the residents of the town didn't even know that they had a working railway connection! Later I remember they built an overbridge and therefore were able to then use two through platforms to accommodate stopping trains from both Birmingham and Worcester directions. I saw the commuting business increase substantially over the years and it is now great to see a fully-equipped four platform station 'along the track'.

Thanks for the video....good to see such a beautiful station in great condition...

Great video.

Sad times

Felixstowe Station looks freakingly cool. Thanks for the upload.

Ideal station for Riverside Campsite @Cononley....5min walk🙂

2:44 wait a sec is that a pacer?

やっぱり先進国のイギリスですね。 いつか一度行ってみたい国！ またお会いしましょう。🍀🍀

Great video.

駅の周辺がきれいですね。 どの国ですか？ ^^ 購読しました。🍀🍀

Your video being pre closure, i hope you dont mind be using a couple of screen shots from this video, showing the signage which is now missing. Credited your username in this video>>

Spent time here in the 1960’s when traffic to/from Fleetwood also passed through! Thanks for prompting nostalgic memories! ❤

بالتوفيق والنجاح ان شاء الله احلى لايك واشتراك

Nice sharing

Wonderful to see the island platform back in use. Back in the '50s there was a line that went direct to Yarmouth and one the vered left to Bungay.

You can see that this section used to be duel track, as the platforms on the other side are still in place. At 0:22 , not did the track was the track that goes off to the left used to be duelled, there was also a duelled track that continued straight on to South Lowestoft freight sidings.

Great video

Good stuff, this is my local!

Strange how NR keep moving the goal posts more to this story than meets the eye. Their timescale for its reopening keeps getting extended all the time. They don’t seem to have a real commitment to sorting this debacle out. It’s a good job they are only dealing with Ian and Liz and not the Taliban.

Interesting looking station especially that its a single track and still uses overhead wires

I lived in High Wycombe as a kid in the 1950s and member the first diesel trains. I'm surprised that the line has not been electrified.

Thanks for this, brings back memories. I first saw and used Stoneleigh station in the Autumn of 1966 and commuted from here between 1974 and 1984. Next to the station by the community library was a green pole with an air-raid siren mounted on top. This was removed some time in the late eighties or early nineties. For decades, when waiting on the up-platform you would be facing a gable-end advertisement for new houses for about £525 (that's it...all bought) and the ad probably dated from about 1934=37 when the shops on the western side of the railway were built. I seem to remember that "River Way" was where the estate office was advertised as located. By 1966 when we moved to the district a terraced house inbetween Stoneleigh and Worcester Park cost £4,000 and now they sell for about £600,000 if not extended or substantially modernised. Stoneleigh station opened amid open fields and grazing lands in July 1932. But property developers were buying up farmland on a huge scale and by 1939 Stoneleigh as you know it now was pretty much completed. The station was almost a carbon copy of Motspur Park with a lattice-work footbridge linking both sides of the railway with the island platform. But it soon became apparent that the sea of commuters that Stoneleigh created meant that people trying to get to trains were unable to (without elbowing) when evening peak trains arrived. The Stoneleigh Residents Association had been campaigning for reconstruction of the station within four or five years of it opening and as they were articulate and influential the Southern Railway complied. A rather ugly and substantial concrete footbridge complete with integral ticket office was slowly constructed with railings on the staircases to allow counter-flow access. It's construction started just before the war and was completed in the winter of 1941/2, due to shortages of labour and materials during hostilities. Despite its lack of beauty this footbridge was a major part of the Stoneleigh station that I knew with its green enamel signs on the platforms and trains with the headcodes 14,15,16, 17 and 19 and with different calling patterns en-route to Waterloo! Some peak hour trains only called at Worcester Park! I understand that the massive concrete footbridge and ticket office are currently being swept away and replaced by something modern and accessible to all. Time moves on. Stoneleigh train services were every half an hour off peak when I knew it and had been every twenty minutes until early 1963. By the late 1970's and early 1980's cancelled trains off peak were annoyingly commonplace and the last train from Waterloo was brought forward to 23.12. Stoneleigh and Ewell West were then cut by several trains in an absurd move in the early eighties. Nowadays I live hundreds of miles away and yet recent visits have shown me that the train service is much improved as is the fare structure (travelcard, zones etc). Thanks again for posting this video; capturing Stoneleigh with the old footbridge in its last months.

It’s a 2 car class 156 train 🚂 🚊 🚆. 👍

This is not 14th April 2024. - These videos are from a few years ago, the giveaway being the unit number on the front non-driver side is lower than the cant line, lack of PRM decals and also the first class stripe along the top of the first class sections.

And now you cannot catch a train there because the station is closed due to an argument between the land owner and Network Rail...pathetic.

Great video!

Why is a pacer there in 2022?

Lovely vide

Miss those days on c2c trains

Bring these back!
