Former Knock station, Belfast (2013)
The down platform remains but, in just over five years since this photograph
Image (March 2008), it has become almost entirely hidden by vegetation. For the record it’s on the left when entering the Comber Greenway, at the King’s Road, going towards Dundonald.

Comber Greenway
The cycle and pedestrian crossing, of the type named Puffin crossings, on the Kings Road. The railway line at this point went through a tunnel under the road and I remember back about 1954 standing on the bridge, just to the right of the cyclists position, watching the lifting of the track below. The tunnel has long since been blocked off.
