Staines: Former Staines West railway station (2)

This is the rear of Image Nick Catford's great website has an image of the station in 1968, three years after closure here http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/s/staines_west/index.shtml Evidently the railway was double-tracked virtually up to the building and had one platform on the left side of the current office car park. It is assumed that the buffers on the left here were originally at the end of the tracks. Some of the original rails are inbedded in the car park surface, although, again, not in their original locations.
