New development at Ruddington
Ruddington's population of about 6500 is set to increase if the new developments either side of the disused railway line is anything to go by. This shows only part of the development on the eastern side of the disused line and was taken from the old bridge over the railway on Clifton Road. The route of the line is still intact but as can be seen, it is well and truly overgrown.

Old Station Drive
New housing on the site of the old Great Central Railway goods yard. Passenger access to the station was, as was typical for small stations on the GCR, from the Clifton Road overbridge onto an island platform.

Old railway station platform, Ruddington
The platform of Ruddington railway station is still extant, though it is now quite difficult to see through the vegetation that has grown since the railway line was closed. It was on the Great Central Railway's London Extension (from Annesley in Nottinghamshire to Quainton Road in Buckinghamshire), and followed the standard pattern for stations on that line: an island platform accessed by stairs from a road bridge. The area immediately to the east of the station (presumably the site of the goods yard) has now been developed for housing (left).

Clifton Road Bridge, Ruddington
A new (2019) walkway has created a level route past the bridge and a shorter way into the new housing area.
It has also opened up this view of the bridge. It is typical of bridges at smaller stations along the Great Central Railway route. These stations generally had a single platform between the two tracks, so the bridges had two arches and, originally, a staircase onto the platform between them.

Clifton Road, Ruddington
Looking east toward the village. The road is rising here, not due to a natural hill, but up an embankment which takes the road over a now disused railway line

Two levels in Ruddington
Near the western edge of Ruddington, Clifton Road (left) and Camelot Street run parallel for a short distance, with the former rising to cross the former Great Central Railway line, which passed behind the houses in the distance.
