Ash Green Halt Gallery 2: c1960 - April 2015


Ash Green station house c1960. When Ash Green was downgraded to a halt, the booking office was taken out of use. Passengers continued to use he covered stairway seen here to reach the disused up platform. They then had to cross the line using a timbered crossing at the bottom of the stairs.
