The "basic railway" at New Hey. Meagre, but there was full disabled access, clear timetable information and ample provision on the trains for both luggage and bicycles. The station retained the historic spelling of the area until the end (see closure notice here: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1493526). Newhey as a spelling is a corruption dating from after World War II (see, for example, 1948 OS 1 inch map here: http://www.npemap.org.uk/ ).
