Do you know what dates these railway stations closed?

Question

Im trying to find the actual dates when the following railway stations closed to passenger services (already know which years, but exactly which day and month?). If you know the answers -even to just one of them -do let me know. They are:

NORTH WALES:
Bagillt
Mostyn.

MANCHESTER AREA:
Royton,
Oldham Central,
Wilbraham Road,
Chorlton-***-Hardy.

NORTH-WEST GENERALLY:
Wilpshire (now reopened as Ramsgreave & Wilpshire), Whalley (now reopened),
Scale Hall,
Vulcan.

Ps- none of the above sitess seem to feature on the www.subrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/ website, which only covers some parts of the country.

Thanks for all your answers. So far, nobody has given a source which has shed light on one of the stations above.

The website on Answerer No.1's reply is the one that contains the most precise dates (rather than just the year), so that is arguably the closest.

My application to join Britains_Lost_Railways group is still pending, so unable to test this one yet.

Jane revealed nothing (seems to be mostly 'modern' info).

So it looks like this one's up for your vote, as right now its unresolved!

Answer 1

Try Janes for Rail it culd have the information you need.
good luck

Answer 2

properly, no longer as such no. What takes place is that on long-distance trains there are such numerous seats available at much inexpensive fees, then greater at a much better fee, then greater at a much better fee and so on. As time passes then the main inexpensive seats sell out, so for sure the result's that the fee will advance (on some trains there might basically ever be 3 or 4 seats available on the very maximum inexpensive fees - there's a reason the commercials say "from £x" which for sure incorporates any fee larger than £x, just to entice human beings to holiday!) for short-distance journeys as much as around 60 miles, all tickets are available for an identical fee besides, so there is not any income in buying tickets early.

Answer 3

I suspect that many of these if not all were closures due to the 'Beeching Axe' of the 1960's.

If this site (below) is no help then I suggest you go to the community websites for each locality, as they will no doubt tell you the history of transport in each area and the dates of closure of rail links.

Good Luck :-)

Answer 4

If you apply to join the Yahoo Group, Britains_Lost_Railways, you will find a wealth of information concerning closed lines all over the country.
