Here's a couple of photos from the footpath that runs along the back of the depot;
Part of the side wall has been left standing to fence the site off from the footpath;
One line is still in place, here's the end of it behind the station;
Moving onto the platform for the next few photos. First up a ground signal for those that like that sort of thing;
Compare this view to the photos here and here;
This is where the oil tanks were;
Turning around a 150 unit awaits the signal;
Which has just changed;

ReplyDeleteI've been living in Buxton for over ten years and nothing has gone in or out of the shed since I moved here, apart from vandals and the local police.

I do wish that it was still used, if only so I could do a bit of trainspotting on the way to the shops...
