Prototype Tim Mills' Photos

[LarryG]

Sacrilege that 80031 was scrapped after 13 years life. To put it into perspective, imagine it was brandnew in 2011 and scrapped this year. That was Britain back in the day with many locos having much shorter lives. The exciting new post-war era for railways was so very short lived.

It was Hurst Green that was resited/rebuilt 1961-62 not Ashurst. Only able to accommodate 2 coach trains Hurst Green Halt was demolished and resited the other side of the road bridge.

Thanks Brian - I knew one of the halts had been resited and rebuilt during the period the Tim's photos were taken.
