Isn,t one of the foot crossings close to where the line left the main line junction to head into Sharleston Pit. I have seen this myself and there was also a level crossing on the nearby road so the railway could get to the pit. I am pretty sure the level crossing on the road was operated by pit staff.

Yes. There was a spur that led into the pit. It has been gone for a while, as well as the pit.

Old OS maps have it named as Sharlston Station. The station building was next to the house, top right of the above satellite view:

The platforms were staggered either side of the lane shown as “Gin Lane”

Well i'm not sure you can claim the discovery, there is plenty of information already on the internet about it's location!

Here it is at track level though.

Anyway @Trainboy2050 - don't be discouraged by the odd grump. Welcome to the Forum - it looks to me as though you might be a good recruit for "Closed Stations Journey Quiz" - but read the rules carefully before you start and always be polite to @Xenophon PCDGS.

You sure that was intended for this thread, cannot see a grump in here?

Sorry - should have said "like me". Oh and "always be polite to @Darandio" as well!
