Station Name: STANMORE VILLAGE18.jpg) Stanmore Village station looking north in December 1967. Following closure to goods traffic on 6 July 1964 the track was quickly lifted that September. The last train departed from Stanmore Village on 21 August 1964. It comprised eight or nine open wagons loaded with asbestos cable ducts that has been stored on the platform in conjunction with electrification of the main line. As can be seen in this view many of the cable ducts were left behind and abandoned. Photo by Nick Catford
