Abandoned Central Railway Stations: Forgotten Hubs of Railway History #abandoned #fyp #history

Journey through the haunting remnants of the United Kingdom’s once-bustling railway stations, now standing silently abandoned. These central stations were once vital hubs, connecting communities across the nation. Over time, as the UK’s rail network evolved and routes were altered or decommissioned, many stations were left to decay. From majestic Victorian architecture to eerie, overgrown platforms, these stations offer a glimpse into a forgotten era of travel. Explore their fascinating histories, the reasons behind their closures, and how they stand today as ghostly relics of a golden age in British rail travel.

Brilliant video, I live in Wigan and thanks for adding the Central Station, the shame in all this, the 1973 picture, every single building in that picture has since been demolished & the soul of the town destroyed.

Up until the early 1960s. There were two additional railway routes from London to Manchester. The Midland Mainline through Bakewell and the Great Central through Pennistone. 60 or so years after closure. Politicians decide there needs to be more capacity to Manchester and The North. As for Scotland why not reccomence The Thames Clyde Express. We are told HS2 is necessary. But, billions to shave 15 minutes from London to Birmingham? The current reason there's not enough capacity to Manchester is Avanti cancel trains there at short notice.

The GCR london extension an unnecessary line. A sad loss all the same.

Part of the Leicester Central station is now a leisure facility. Please do your research.

The rest of the U.K. rail network is currently struggling with capacity when these lines and stations have been closed down and/or demolished/lines ripped up, with a possibility that they will have to be repurposed, demolished and/or reopened - this is criminal and someone needs to be facing criminal charges for this
