Coulsdon North station
This pleasant and useful terminus was, sadly, closed on 30 September 1983, forcing yet more traffic onto the roads.

Went out for a little walk as I knew nobody would be around which I reckon makes this an interesting picture.

Coal staithes, Coulsdon North
Incredible as it may seem, but coal was still delivered by railway wagons to these staithes as late as 1979. Now, in 2007, many modern children have never even seen coal at all

Site of Coulsdon North station
In this view from the footbridge near Coulsdon Town station, the fast lines are nearer the camera and the slow lines are beyond. Coulsdon North station was located here, straddling all four tracks. It was opened as 'Stoats Nest and Cane Hill' in 1899 and went through several different names before being closed as Coulsdon North in 1983. It is only a very short walk to Smitham (now Coulsdon Town) station (see http://www.geograph.ie/photo/3045242 ) and this was one of the reasons it was closed. More information about Coulsdon North station can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulsdon_North_railway_station and http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/c/coulsdon_north/index.shtml In this photograph a Gatwick Express heads non-stop towards London Victoria.

Coulsdon North station, Surrey
This photograph was taken from the footbridge which spanned the lines: it shows a 4-SUB unit which is waiting to work a stopping service to Victoria: also, the six-road carriage storage area just south of the station.

Carriage sidings, Coulsdon North, Surrey
The six-road carriage sidings which were situated beyond the end of the platforms at Coulsdon North station are now just a memory, being buried beneath the new Coulsdon Inner Relief Road, but were still in use in 1981.

Coulsdon North station
Back in 1968, the attractive terminus at Coulsdon North had an all-day service of three trains an hour to and from London Victoria. Here a 4-SUB unit waits to depart from Platform 1. The station was closed in 1983.
