Sorry for jumping into this thread a bit late - and changin to a related topic. Some years ago there was an article in one of the railway mags about a similar thing in Somerset (if I remember right). When broad guage was abandoned some of the West Of England main line was diverted rather than converted, leaving an entire station isolated - complete with track and everything. At the time the article was written the site was largely intact.

We're in! Flapjacks 'n' garlic bread on order *as we speak*.
Here we go again. So, we need to find the station in question first....

Not necessarily! We could find a field, set up camp, have a nuclear barbie and THEN look for a few soddin' railway lines...
And go offroading if we didn't.
Enquiries are now being made of Bristol Railway society.
