Newtyle Station

[Smellycat]

Newtyle railway Station was built in 1834 but closed down in the 1960's when the line was dismantled. The building still stands but is now in the middle of a housing estate.



HOW IT USED TO LOOK

HOW IT LOOKS NOW

BEFORE

AFTER

When you walk/cycle along the old line you can still see evidence of old platforms etc like this one
in the middle of the woods.

Thanks for looking.

Oh, I really like that. I'm amazed it's still there after all this time as lots of stations were sold off for housing. The platforms and steps remaining in the woods are delightful.
Enjoyed seeing the before and now pics. Good work.

I do like this, love seeing the old pics and comparing with the new. Such a shame its blocked up, but great that the building is still standing. Agree with Foxy, love seeing the platforms and steps in the trees.

Nice find,

Sal

Great report. What an unusualdesign of station too. Glad it is still there, in a recognisable state.

 

[Smellycat]

thanks SP. Thats a great photo. It would be great to actually get inside the building to see if there's anything still in there.

Had a nosey last time I passed and there was only an old jeep and some pigeons panicing about.

Found this for you SC.

Very nice. I like the remnants of the rail tracks in the woods. Thanks for the "then and now" comparison

here's another old photo of the disused railway which is now part of a housing estate in dundee. I'll need to go and track the exact location down and see what it looks like now.
